If the world wants to be so casual about abortion how will it find empathy for those who suffer miscarriage? A life was not lost so there is nothing to mourn. Grief felt is empty and illegitimate.

We need a social system which offers comprehensive support to women with children. I think that is real answer to reducing abortion rates

Laura - an inconsistency, I agree.

Jill - true. A positive approach would be helpful. How can the church go about achieving this without public support?
