See the problem with giving answers like this is that often people are wrong about what such general statements mean....the Fatima thing is a great example of this....where lots of folks have mistakenly taken the word fashions to mean anything they might not approve of as far as cloths....when in reality it is proably something entirely differnt.
The OP said: "It occurs to me that I've never heard the Holy Mother mention the evils of contraception and abortion in any apparition/visitation/message" and that "I'm pro-life, anti contraception. Don't get me wrong. I'm not going anywhere with this, other than asking the question in the thread title"
If you are delving into the
argumentum ad rem, and making an appeal to evidence and truth, you won't find it. I don't think Our Lady, the Mother of the Creator of life, needed to go into a litany of whether contraception and abortion are evils. Need she? For redundancy's sake? Her messages are empty words giving meaning to something else?
Errors of reasoning relying on the "meaning" of the words and sentences involved in arguments fall into "material fallacies." Presupposing an answer that needs to be proven is known as "Begging the question" and/or a "circular argument."

One of the errors of Russia was abortion. It was the first nation to legalize it.

Wow. Didn't know they were the first.

I've read where the error (not error
s) of Russia was the destruction of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
It was from this error that all the other errors were able to gain not only a foothold, but also strength - and finally law - "law of the land".
Anyone else heard of this?

Abortion is still technically illegal in Japan.

I know that many people have reservations about Garabandal but for those who have an interest in those alleged apparitions there was some mention of abortion to Conchita. I cannot recall exactly what was said but with time I might find it. I do not wish to initiate any Garabandal controversy here but for those who wish to pursue that subject there are loads of entries in the archives on this site and also on AQ.
