There is an old maxim that I might paraphrase thus: "once is an accident, twice is a provocation and three times is an act of war."

Abortion is not simply a human activity! It involves powers beyond our control. The appeal to Michael, the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, makes total sense in obviating this scourge on our society!
