...cause of death among pregnant women is homicide, and as with domestic violence in general, the killer is most often her husband or partner. Current events bear out this awful truth. The public has heard a great deal about the recent murders of Laci Peterson, Lori Hacking, and their unborn children; Scott Peterson is currently being tried on two counts of murder, and Mark Hacking has already confessed to killing his wife...

It is hypocritical for any of us, bishops or lay people, to think the soul of an unborn is more important than any other soul. If Communion can be denied those who support a woman's right to choose abortion, then, using the same logic, Communion should also be denied those who support the war in Iraq-a war the Pope has criticized.
