Fair observation.

I just think it’s such a volatile issue.

Just awful -

I have told the story - an in-law of mine had an abortion about 10 years ago - it ripped the family to shreds - and to this day the scars are horrible.

She is wonderful girl and I understood her reasoning at the time - an I understand it today.

But at least once a month the subject comes up inside the family and tears flow.

Horrible

We all ask “what if” - we all look our kids....

You know?

I cannot think of a more tragic issue people (men and woman) have to deal with.

it is horrible and the aftereffects for women who have abortions last the rest of their lives, that's why the Catholic Church has programs like Project Rachel to assist women in the aftermath of that heartwrenching ordeal. The object isn't to criminalize the behavior, the objective is to educate and discourage it. i used to be a liberal, i used to be prochoice. even as a Catholic. Becoming pregnant and feeling life move within me, even early on, changed that. My kids Catholic elementary school had situated next to it for YEARS an abortion clinic. My kids knew from early on what abortion is. They are being raised with the knowledge that a baby in the womb is a life. i can't guarantee that my kids might not ever have an abortion, but they will know exactly what it is they are doing. i think the odds are less because of the education they have received.
