I think the issue is simple. I was raised Catholic, so I deeply get opposition to abortion. However, the bumper sticker says it best: " Opposed to abortion? Don't have one." It's that simple... butt out of other people's lives and medical decisions.
Agreed. And while it won't fit on a bumper sticker, I'd like to add to that, "...And don't have a D&C when you're bleeding out from a miscarriage either."
She's exactly right. If the "Pro-Life" folks supported all those things, I'd take them seriously. If I remember my history correctly, Paul VI was going to ok contraception in Humanae Vitae, but the conservative cardinals talked him out of it. What a waste!

Sister Joan is the best kind of bad-ass.
Try "The Time is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage." We all like to think that we are uncommonly courageous, especially guys.
