Elie Wiesel, the famous survivor of the Jewish Holocaust once remarked;'Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.'
These words ring particularly true when considering the above scene; the very picture of sleepy, leafy suburbia.
And yet, this is the street in Liverpool where the abortion mill is situated...
On Saturday we joined the little group of faithful souls who have prayed there for years in all weathers and seasons. We prayed with them fifteen mysteries of the Rosary and joined our hearts to the babies being killed inside. We also prayed for the Rosary Walk of Reparation taking place later on in the day through the streets of London. The group happily reported that a week earlier they had been joined by some 15 young women who had prayed with them before setting off on a long pro-life walk of witness over to Thornton.
The matter of indifference struck home when seeing local neighbours watching their TV's in their bay windows overlooking the abortion mill area, or just pottering about the street. The postman bringing the mail which makes this evil trade possible. Girls sauntering up to the front door with I-Pods to their ears. The many taxis which come in and out of the facility; latter day death camp transit wagons...
In 2007 I witnessed two particularly stressful aspects of indifference when praying outside with a student for the priesthood.
1. A lad bringing his girlfriend to have an abortion in a car with a yellow sticker on the window which bore the legend A dog is for life and not just for Christmas. Clearly pets now have more rights and protection than innocent humans.
2. A lad leaving his girlfriend inside to have an abortion and crossing the street to recycle his empty lemonade bottle -Â and carefully picking out the correct colour bin for the plastic bottle. And so we see how environmental concerns have trumped the right to life.
Who could argue that Elie Wiesel had a point? Indeed, Wiesel went on to say that the 'opposite to life is not death... but rather it is indifference.'Â
