[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such a lengthy opinion when all they have to say is “because the Catholic Church is against abortion.”[/quote]

I'm Catholic. I guess I 'should be' happy about this. But instead - I keep thinking about the women who have terminated wanted pregnancies, the women who have had to get abortions bc of lack of access to birth control...I guess I just wish the church would recognize that not everyone who gets an abortion is doing so because 'lol oops don't want a baby'.

I personally can't see myself getting an abortion and I pray it is a choice I never have to make. It would not be my choice but I guess I'm a horrible Catholic because I don't really think it's my place to decide for others.[/quote]

Could you see yourself getting an abortion if you were raped?  or how about your niece after she's raped by an uncle or cousin?  That's the situation that is being made for women in states like Florida.

Let go of the Catholic guilt, you aren't a bad Catholic b/c you believe women should make choices for themselves.  That makes you a empathetic human.  [/quote]

For one thing, Christianity used to allow abortion.

I also think of the damage that the Catholic obsession with “life” - at the expense of the women who had to grow, nurture and care for those lives - has done. My own great grandmother died after her 15th child was born, from complications from the gestational diabetes she’d probably had during the last six pregnancies she carried. She wasn’t able to tell my lout of a great grandfather to go m-st-rb-te instead of getting her pregnant again. How many times did that happen across the country and around the world? How many women’s lives, how many children’s lives and families would have been better off limiting their families to two or three or four kids instead of 10-18?

And where was the concern for life in the Indian Schools run by the Catholic Church? Where was the concern for the life of the children abused by priests who were allowed to prey upon children for decades?

Release your guilt. That part of your faith is an abomination against God. [/quote]
