EFC, thank you for responding, but I think I will pass on giving an answer to the question you ask.

I am taking this position because, especially over the past few days, it seems to me that our "discussions" become more of an argument, which is something I don't want to engage. Another reason is that I think it is clear we will not agree, so I don't see the value of continuing. Finally, regardless as to what you or I think, I believe these very personal decisions remain with the women carrying the fetus/child, not with me, you or the govt; that a pro-life position can be one that does not involve the govt. making these very personal decisions. As I have said before, I understand you see it differently.

So, I invite you to join me and accept that we will not agree and prayerfully wish each other well and move on.

God bless,

John David
