Abortion: Reasoned discourse is imperative

It is heart-rending that reasoned discourse on abortion is often drowned in violent polemics or even sabotaged by violent gestures.

One of the most important things we can do, is to remind ourselves and others of just how complex this matter is, of what vulnerabilities are involved, of the responsibilities we carry. It is crucial to remember to see the subject from more than one angle. We need quietly authoritative statements like this one on YouTube by Andrea Bocelli. Or like David Scotton’s video account of meeting his birth mother in I Lived on Parker Avenue.
