adding to that. in the mid to late 60's and 70s The Church helped start something similar to Planned Parenthood. if you must have an abortion let the church save one life ... instead of 2 dead... and I think todays SCOTUS knows this too. They do something right now like taking on these gay bills and overturn them there'll be chaos in the streets and a liberal SCOTUS before you can dream of it. Thats not how it should work but it does
