I also am adept at challenging people. So I certainly agree that life begins at conception and that abortion is objectively a grave evil. HOWEVER! I often have experienced in dialogue and in reading pro-life advocates a certain zealous myopia. It is far easier to recognize and shout about an evil than to learn about the underlying causes of said evil. We also should do everything we can to alleviate these conditions. Often the only ones providing counseling, housing in a living environment, and follow up care to what are often women of a minority community who are desperate in their pregnancies. The places that assist with this are often committed women religious and their lay female helpers. The current political climate often demonizes and denies side of any kind to the poor, blaming instead of loving individuals who are in need of Love. I thank you for allowing me to advocate for extending the conversation around abortion to a more systemic level. Otherwise I believe despite being correct about noticing an evil we can easily be without LOVE, just noisy gongs as Paul forcefully reminds us! Blessings Dan

It is truly sad how many people in this world decide to worship false idols and turn away from God and Jesus. The examples are too numerous to list.
