Padre Pio’s Prophetic Warning on Abortion
About this Episode
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/8HqQDuB94Go
Tomorrow I will be attending the March for Life in Washington D.C., so I thought it would be appropriate to recount one of the best quotes about the sin of abortion from Saint Padre Pio. I also will tell two stories which further illustrate his staunch position on this sin and demonstrate why he should be the patron saint of the unborn.

Saint Padre Pio said: “The day men lose their horror of abortion, scared by an economic crash, physical ailments and economic sacrifices, will be a terrible day for mankind. For it is precisely the day they should show horror. Abortion is not only homicide but also suicide. Do we have the courage to manifest our faith in relation to those about to commit a crime? Do we want them, yes or no, to change their attitude? One would understand this suicide of the human race if one observed, in the light of reason, the ‘beauty and joy’ of an earth populated with old people and barren of children, burned like a desert. If we reflected about this, we would understand the twofold seriousness of abortion. Abortion always mutilates the lives of parents.”
Referring to parents who abort their children, he added:
“I would like to cover them with the ashes of the fetuses they destroyed to make them see their responsibility and thus prevent them from resorting to their own ignorance. The remains of a procured abortion, buried with fake consideration and fake piety, are a manifestation of hypocrisy. These ashes will be spread on the brazen faces of the murdering parents. My rigorous defense of the children’s survival in the world is always an act of faith and hope in our
encounter with God on earth.”
