At the end of the day it's inescapable that abortion, in itself, is a very ugly business. It should never be easy.

An old comment is still very true: you don't play the game, you don't make the rules. The catholic church puts women in a subservient position: any women priests? It is free to put forward any position it wishes to defend, not to impose its views to the people of this country or any other for that matter

abortion

anti-abortion does not mean anti-woman. Abortion hurts women very badly. It is abortion which is anti-woman. Many young women who find themselves pregnant are persuaded by others to have an abortion that they don't really want. The information regarding abortion and the effects of having an abortion are witheld from them. Assistance in managing the pregnancy, birth and care for the new child seems hard to get. Pregnancy does not ruin a life - it changes a life. But abortion ruins two lives. I feel that the background to this anti-life mentality involves an attitude which sees children as a burden, instead of a blessing. So those who have more than 3 or 4 children get looked at as if they had done something odd or even bad! Some people look at a country's natural resources like coal, iron, oil and so on. They forget that the greatest resource is new life. Without new life the coal remains in the ground.

Agreed, great conversation. However, Anti-abortion is anti-woman. Lets see him raise 4 children on minimum wage and see if he still agrees. Unfortunately, he is not a woman. lol
