The Vatican has condemned the war.
Whether or not the war in Iraq meets the standard of being a just war is something that can be debated. I’m not convinced that it is an unjust war.
“I do believe that the decision as to what is absolutely necessary ultimately belongs to the woman who is pregnant.” Your criterion of what is “absolutely necessary” is really subjective. A woman could easily decide that it is “absolutely necessary” for her to have an abortion for almost any reason.
Yes, that is very true. However, we have the freedom to try to help her realize the value of NOT choosing abortion. Freedom means the possibility of choosing incorrectly but with that incorrect choice will come the consequences that direct us to the correct choice, sooner or later. Our progress depends upon each of us freely learning the lessons of life and then correctly applying them.
An important consideration here is whether or not there has been sufficient progress in this human experience to have the privilege of freedom of choice - we restrict that privilege from children until they display the maturity to exercise reasonable choices. It may be that our pregnant women do not have the maturity or moral development to rate the freedom to decide this question. Then those who think they do have that development can force their will on them. Not me, thanks.
