Are you quoting from “Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion“? Dr. Theresa Burke is a board certified clinical psychotherapist, but she is not “Rachel's Vineyard's chief psychologist”. Rachel’s Vineyard does not have a “chief pyschologist” and the book in question is not part of the Rachel’s Vineyard program.

Since Dr. Burke is a Catholic and the Rachel’s Vineyard program is primarily Catholic and Christian, noting that "Abortion is the intentional taking of an innocent human life. Therefore it is morally wrong." is not surprising.

Nor, for the same reason, is it surprising that adoption is not viewed as morally problematic, since when the child leaves for the adopted home, she or he is still breathing.

As the experience with AA, Al-Anon, Gamblers Anonymous, and the rest of the 12 step programs, all forms of talk therapy, group therapy, and psychoanalysis demonstrate, everything seems like it helps some and turns others off.
