Hi Kris
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and making some suggestions.
Thru most of my life, I viewed abortion as a woman's issue and not one in which I could express a strong view given that I will never bear a child. Having had my recent experience, my views are changing. I am starting to take a very strong view that abortion is actually encouraged in our society and that this is wrong. I also think that as you say, people are rarely told the truth about the impact of abortion. I will check out the history of PP.
I do sometimes feel a little guilty that it took personal experience for me to develop strong views on this issue. I am starting to feel that I need a more consistent set of humanist moral values that, for me, are in line with the Catholic religion. I had a discussion with a Catholic friend recently who is strongly pro-life but also strongly against capital punishment and euthanasia. I can see myself moving down that road.
In terms of having a 'hard heart', I again agree that this way of being is becoming more common and that religious belief is one of the only forces that restrains it. I am thinking about it again and can see myself becoming more religiously engaged.
