The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?'

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

I believe BECAUSE it's impossible.

To forbid birth is only quicker murder.

You can't undo anything you've already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest.

Can we not live without pleasure, who cannot but with pleasure die?

In our case, murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the foetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder a birth is merely a speedier mankilling; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in the seed.
