Your generation must decide how to save God's creation from a changing climate that threatens to destroy it. . . . And part of the problem, of course, lies in the imperfections of man -- our selfishness, our pride, our stubbornness, our acquisitiveness, our insecurities, our egos; all the cruelties large and small that those of us in the Christian tradition understand to be rooted in original sin. We too often seek advantage over others. . . . Too many of us view life only through the lens of immediate self-interest and crass materialism. . . . The strong too often dominate the weak. . . . So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions, let's reduce unintended pregnancies. Let's make adoption more available. Let's provide care and support for women who do carry their children to term. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded not only in sound science, but also in clear ethics, as well as respect for the equality of women. LA Times
Editor: How can he speak of God's creation and our selfishness and not see the problem with abortion? And who is it that is providing "care and support for women who do carry their children to term"? I think it's the pro-lifers.
