Cardinal Schonborn on abortion

Cardinal Schonborn writes:

What is there in creation more sublime, more precious, than a new human child? what is in greater danger, nowadays, than an unborn child? It is hard to understand how one's commitment to environmental protection is not turned as a priority to protecting children. For nothing demands our respect for creation more than care for its most precious possession: the child that has been vouchsafed as a gift to this world in order to know it, respect it, and cultivate it.
