Thanks Warren for posting about Consistent Life. I had never heard of them before. They’re advocating the kind of stance that has been sorely missing in a lot of the debate on abortion and “pro life”.
If only more Christians in the U.S. would be ‘consistent’ in their views. It sends a sad message to non-Christians when they see the apparent hypocrisy of some pro-life Christians who have a disturbing way of encouraging and accepting war and violence.
I did a quick search and found this page: The New Abolitionists
Wow just wow, there’s Feminists For Life, Atheist and Agnostic Pro-Life League, Prolife Alliance of Gays and Lesbians and many others.
Take that cynical and jaded right wing evangelicals! 😉
The world is indeed a more complex place than the usual black and white distinctions made by some.

I sure hope they don’t follow the South Dakota model – with warning of the potential harms with abortion – but not the potential harms with carrying the fetus to full term.

I will be surprised if the report provides reasonable guidelines for informing women of potential risks association with abortion,

I will be surprised as well. I guess this subject is really no different than how individuals respond to their same gender attractions. Some are very content with them while others are not. Some women are not affected at all about an abortion and feel relief after it is over while other women regret the decision the rest of their life and live with an indescribable emotional pain because of it. I am sure the physical aspect of the procedure can involve potential harm as well. I do hope reasonable guidelines will be provided for women to make an informed choice.
