re: Some thoughts on Obama's Notre Dame address
I can disagree with opponents of abortion under all circumstances (rape, incest, horrible genetic disease) and still respect their point of view. As for deciding precedence over the life of the mother, or of a cluster of cells, I choose the mother without hesitation. She is already a human being, not just a "potential".
But those who condemn contraception, sex education, and other such practices which might reduce abortions strike me as people who aren't really opposed to abortions, they just can't stand the thought that someone, somewhere, might be having a good time.
