[quote=Anonymous]I have never heard any Catholic argue that abortion is ok if you aren't Catholic. That's an odd position.

I'm Catholic and prolife. I've had friends and family members who have had abortions for a variety of reasons ranging from being teens to feeling unable to parent due to money issues or not having a spouse. I deeply wish they'd made a different choice, but I'm not angry with them. I pray for their babies' eternal rest and for them that they have peace and happiness. A few years ago, I kept a cousin's kids for three days at her request, not knowing that she had gone for an abortion. When I found out later, I felt like I'd been sucked into being complicit in in. My priest said I wasn't responsible even if I had known and decided to keep the kids anyway. He said that I made sure that her kids had a safe, loving place during the days when their mother was unavailable to them whatever her reason. The alternative was that they might have been left to fend for themselves. You took care of your friend when she needed someone. That's not a bad thing.[/quote]
