Dear RockChalkWombat,

No way, putting women in jail for having an abortion is not okay nor is it the answer. Making abortion legal in the early 1970's gave many the false impression that it was okay, since when a law is passed making something legal, we think it is okay. But when a law is passed that is against God's will (though shall not kill) or redefining marriage, then it is God we have to obey and not man. As a daily communicant, just this week at Holy Mass, Acts was read where Jesus' Apostles were brought before the Council for continuing to preach about Jesus in Jerusalem as they were given strong orders not to do so. The Apostles reply, "We must obey God rather than man". The true believers will swim against the tide of popular opinion and in this way, like Jesus be persecuted, perhaps by being fired, by being arrested and perhaps even put in jail and I have no doubt eventually being martyred. We will see Christians being martyred in the USA, especially for defending marriage
