The Catholic Church has been the ONLY church standing firm AGAIST abortion.

There's no dispute that the Catholic Church has a long history of a firm stance against abortion. This is one area where I applaud how forcefully the Church speaks out.

But it's not the ONLY Church that stands against abortion. That statement doesn't hold water. Any Christian based Church that bases its teachings on Christ is going to be firmly against abortion.

Google Jill Stanek, she and I attend the same Church. You'll see what standing against abortion is all about.
