The Siege of Life: Legal Violence and the Collapse of Human Dignity

Abortion and War: Two Faces of the Same Barbarism
The world has become accustomed to death. Wars no longer
shock us. Abortion has become a right. In both cases, life is sacrificed under
the weight of arguments that conceal something darker: indifference,
utilitarianism, and collective blindness.
We are told that abortion is a private matter, a woman’s
right. We are told that war is a geopolitical necessity. But what if both are
symptoms of the same moral collapse?
Abortion kills the weakest. War kills the youngest. Both are
orchestrated and legitimized by systems that exalt freedom while trampling on
the essence of life.
In 2023 alone, there were over 73 million abortions
worldwide — more than all the war deaths of the entire 20th century. And yet,
the majority of these were not due to rape, danger to the mother, or fetal
malformation. They were due to social, economic, or personal reasons. In other
words: convenience.
When society accepts that human life can be interrupted
before birth, it opens the door to other forms of extermination. It is not
surprising, then, that the same cultures that defend the right to abort also
support wars under the guise of humanitarianism or economic interest.
The issue is not legal or political. It is spiritual. The
soul of humanity is sick. It confuses progress with destruction. It calls
freedom what is in fact a brutal form of domination over the most fragile.
Abortion is not only a feminine issue. It is also a
masculine one. A man who abandons the woman he impregnated, who refuses to
assume his responsibility, is complicit in the death of that child. The
legalization of abortion has also legalized irresponsibility.
And when irresponsibility becomes law, life becomes
disposable. We see it in embryos and in bombed children. We see it in pregnant
women who are pressured to abort, not for freedom, but for fear and social
isolation. We see it in politicians who sign decrees with a pen dipped in
blood.
Where is human dignity? Where is the sacredness of life? Has
science, with all its data and algorithms, replaced the wisdom of the heart?
They say that to speak against abortion is to return to the
past. But perhaps the past — that past in which life was revered, children were
welcomed, and death was mourned — was more human than this sterile,
technological, and anesthetized present.
No war is justified if it annihilates the innocent. No
abortion is dignified if it suppresses a heartbeat. Every argument collapses
when faced with the silence of a truncated life.
This is not a matter of religion, but of truth. Not of
ideology, but of humanity. A civilization that devours its own offspring will
not survive long. The earth does not tolerate spilled blood forever. There are
invisible laws, deeper than human laws, that govern life and its destiny.
Let us not fool ourselves: the enemy is not in a distant
country or a backward belief. The enemy is within. It is the system that turns
murder into law. It is the society that has forgotten how to love.
To defend life is not fanaticism. It is the last act of
resistance in a world that slides, blind and smiling, toward its own abyss.
A civilization that denies the soul cannot truly defend life.
Materialist ideologies—whether cloaked in communism or disguised as women's 'freedom'—have justified the death of tens of millions each year.
This is not ideology. These are documented facts.
When society forgets its spiritual nature, it builds laws on ignorance, not on wisdom.
If you’ve read this far, you already feel it. The true war
is not outside. It is within each of us.
And the first victory is to say: enough.
