Abortion is not easy and has negative effects on the mother. There are wounds in the uterus after an abortion, and this act causes health problems for the aborting mother. Life is a gift from God, from the moment it is formed in the mother's womb. Jesus' love for children was special, as it was said: let the children come to me, but do not hinder them. Catechesis on abortion', with P. Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

These women who have abortions feel that they have killed a part of their lives, they also feel that what they have done is a bad act, so that even if they suffer from a mental illness or heart disease, every time they see a child, what they have done is repeated in their minds. One suggestion for those who have fallen down this inappropriate path is to talk to priests or bishops who can give spiritual advice. Catechesis on abortion', with Fr Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

Abortion has consequences that directly affect the pregnant person who has aborted the child; the woman may no longer be able to give birth after this forced abortion, which may result in the mother's death. According to the statistics recorded at Befelatanana hospital, many women have died as a result of an abortion. Catechesis on abortion', with Fr Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

There are alternatives to abortion, and all girls and women are encouraged to make efforts to carry a pregnancy to the last minute, but abortion is not a solution. Abortion has serious moral consequences, it is an almost regrettable solution, but not a comforting one. Prayer is a special power for receiving promptings to find solutions worthy of humanity. Catechesis on abortion', with Fr Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.
