...escapes me how religious leaders can be so sure that the fetus is a living soul. What seminarian has not grappled with the question of the origin of the soul in his anthropology courses only to come away as undecided as ever? The church today is in grave danger of dogmatizing beyond the clear teaching of Scripture and perpetrating a far greater misery than it did when it put Galileo under house arrest for his "heresy...

None of this should obscure the biological fact that abortion is abnormal, a product of grave medical, economic and psychological pressures.

...publicly what they practice privately. Now the consensus is having political effects. Last spring Colorado became the first state to legalize hospital abortions on three principal medical grounds.
