A couple of years ago the same friend discovered that not only does his church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), condone abortion in its shrewdly worded official statement on the topic, but its employee health benefits plan pays for pre-born lives to be aborted through the first five months of the mother's pregnancy, without question. (I posted about this previously.) Other Christian denominations have similar statements and policies. How many unborn lives have been snuffed out as a result? And how many women are still suffering in silence?

I can tell you from experience that in 1971 there was huge disconnect between the official Catholic doctrine on abortion and that being proffered by the liberal, on campus, Newman Center priests. Every Sunday traditional priest were condemning abortion as a great sin while college kids were being told that sometimes it was the best option and something that just had to be to get your life back.
