A parent I know was very, very upset, and frustrated that there seemed to be nothing to be done about it. I just think conservatives have focused so long and so hard on abortion that a whole lot of problems that both lead to abortions (i.e. cycles of poverty/lack of education) and show huge lack of respect for life in their own right (i.e. cycles of violence) have been shunted aside. We have to go back to the basic dignity of the human person in those we encounter on a daily basis if we expect to make any headway against the culture of death--because the culture of death is way, way bigger than abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide, and challenges conservative ideals at least as much as liberal ones.Kathleen Basihttp://www.kathleenbasi.com/noreply@blogger.com
