Abortion: The Sacred Idol of Our Throwaway Society

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Unrestricted and unlimited access to abortion has become a sacred idol to many people in the throwaway culture of death we live in.
44% : In the meantime, we will continue to pray and to work for the conversion of hearts and minds to the plight of voiceless unborn, hoping to save as many as we can, until the evil of abortion in our country comes to an end and children are welcomed and loved for who they are: persons made in the image of God and called to eternal union with him.
41% : All things being equal, legislation that limits abortion, even if it still allows for abortion, can be supported, provided that the politician's opposition to abortion is fully known.
37% : This is not to encourage the evil of abortion.
35% : In fact, abortion is a binary for us; a black and white issue.
32% : However, multiple studies in other countries, with better data and reporting, have shown a fourfold increased risk of premature death from abortion than from childbirth.
32% : In the spirit of this sort of extremism, Pope Francis has gone on record that abortion is an "absolute evil."
26% : Any discussion of limiting abortion in legislation has been vociferously condemned as an attempt to curb the so-called "right to abortion."
26% : While an outright ban of abortion is preferable, given that even Planned Parenthood admits most abortions are for elective reasons and are not chosen because of rape or incest, a ban of abortion except in these limited instances would have the desired effect of drastically reducing the number of children who are murdered.
16% : Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland confronted Foster on "calling for a nationwide ban on abortion with no exception for rape or incest."
