text: Additional comment - the above quotes and MSW's negative response to PP also highlights that the most effective means to reduce abortion are contraceptives.  Unfortunately, MSW's response or suggested drill down to Ms. Richards underlines the confused pro-birth stance......outlaw abortion with one hand tied behind your back and, at the same time, assume that you know best when it comes to a decision about a woman using birth control.
  
  The above reminds me of those who preach conscience is supreme and then so qualify that statement that no conscience would ever be respected.  It becomes a game of linguistic gymnastics.  At the core, either you trust the people of God or you do not and substitute their human dignity with (women especially) with claims that become condescending.
  
  Example - last Sunday to remember Roe v Wade, homilist said that medical science proves life from conception.  That is false.  Typical of the failed catholic pro-life stance.
