As some of you may have been able to tell, I've been a lifelong pro lifer. This particular story isn't what has me shifting my position a little bit. Rather, the 36 year old female associate in my office who had a miscarriage and then one of the pregnancies of the type described in these blogs has me at least hedging my beliefs. She was a religious college student long before I knew her and she has more sense than, well, whatever has a lotta sense. She is not irresponsible but she is getting older. She wants a baby and time is of the essence. She had an abortion.
While I still maintain that the issue belongs to the states, I would gladly support the right of women like this to have abortions. Not government supported or provided abortions blah blah blah. Not necessarily abortion_on_demand or nothing. But if it came to an election, me and, I suspect my entire Catholic family, will be right there for the right to abort babies with significant birth defects (or worse).
I'll take my chances explaining it later to God.
As an aside, how in the world did this happen in Minnesota? I thought that was an insanely liberal state?
