It was buried in the OP’s post but here is the question:

“How, as someone very religious, that’s who I am sort of seeking input from, how do you square the rise in stories like this with your religion if it tells you abortion is never allowed?”

I am not very religious but I was raised by an extremely doctrinaire Catholic.

The answer is: orthodox Catholics see fertility as a sort of religious sacrament and ritual. the Catholic doctrines on birth control and abortion are based on a notion of life as holy and the moment of conception as a way to see God. This carries over to the entire pregnancy. Conception, pregnancy and birth are worshipped in the story of Mary and the nativity. Fertility is a way to *see God manifest is humans* which is why more effective methods of birth control that use devices and medications are forbidden but the rythym method is OK because it physically “leaves room for God” because the sperm and egg are where they are supposed to be. NONE of this has anything to do with the actual woman or the actual fetus. It’s a religious rite. [/quote]
