on as a means of birth control, with a manner-of-fact attitude; and the age of those who are having abortions is declining!

我們也可以發現，雖然臺灣人口出生率漸漸下滑，但墮胎風潮卻與日俱增，與兩性開放的法國相比，臺灣的墮胎率竟是法國的六倍！尤其是在工業化與都市化後，社會結構與人際相處，較以往複雜許多！社會價值觀的變動、混亂，倡導人向「錢」及名牌、功利主義看齊；而資訊傳播的快速，卻也不斷地訴說放縱情慾的快感。致使原本單純、血氣方剛的青年學子，因沒有正確道德觀的約束，陷入以肉體換取金錢，或是婚前性行為乃至受孕的窘境。

We also discovered that although the birth rate in Taiwan is decreasing gradually, the popularity of abortion is increasing day by day. In comparison to sexually liberated France, the number of abortions in Taiwan exceeds that of France by six times! After industrialization and urbanization, social structure and human relations are a lot more complicated than they were in the past. Our society’s value has undergone chaotic changes, and as a result, people now are led to focus on wealth and brand names, in other words, hedonism. In addition, given the speed of information dissemination (such as the internet), there is immediate access to limitless information telling one to indulge in one’s sexual desires. Due to lack of restraints imposed by a proper sense of morality, young students, who are originally innocent and full of vigor, are sinking to the level of selling their bodies for money or dealing with the embarrassment of pregnancies resulting from premarital sex.

看到這些，我們不能不憂心──我們的教育到底出了什麼問題？我們該怎麼救救這些年輕的孩子？我們是不是應該告訴他（她）們什麼是可以做，什麼是不可以做的基本道德觀念。明確了當地讓同學們知道是非，而不是「只要我喜歡，有什麼不可以」。我們不希望當年的王士明越來越多，我們也不要年輕的學子們一輩子都帶著一份扔不掉的愧疚！

When we see the situations that the students are in, we can’t help but worry. What went wrong with our education? What should we do in order to rescue these young children? Shouldn’t we tell them what they can do and what they can’t do, based on basic principles of morality? We need to let the students know clearly and unequivocally the difference between right and wrong, and not “As long as I like it, there’s nothing I can’t do.” We don’t want to have more students be like the young Mr. Wang, ending up with an unshakable sense of shame and guilt for the rest of their lives!

沒有正確的觀念，就如同走在漫長的黑夜中，走錯了也不知道。一般人對於「墮胎」也是一樣，以為還沒出生的胎兒，不算個生命，所以可以隨便拿掉。其實有孕，就有生命的存在，不然胎兒怎麼會日漸長大呢？就像我們這些已出生的人一樣，因為我們有生命，所以會動、會活、會成長。因此，胎兒的生命，是和我們一樣的。

Without proper views, it would be like walking in endless darkness; we won’t even know when we wander onto the wrong path. Similarly, most people have the wrong view about abortion; they don’t think an unborn fetus counts as a life, so they th
