Abortion is a violent and evil act. Evil comes from evil. The Problem with the merely conservative, rightwing take on abortion is that it does not accept the principle that evil comes from evil, but reduces evil to what their party calls "liberalism" in other words to a type of politics that they are not fond of. They need to reread St. Paul who tells us that our battle is not with the flesh, but with the higher powers of evil. Abortion must be rejected inasmuch as it is an evil, violent, totally discriminative taking of innocent life. It should not be turned into a political football serving the interests of the right.
