I apologize for how that came off...

The reference to the church was a general reference, not to any specific denomination....the Catholic church is far ahead of any other denomination in what it has and is doing in the pro-life movement. The other denominations, however, have been highly critical of anyone who ever aborted, excluding them from communion, from church activity, shunning them, etc. The church, meant to be the arms of God's love, has rather become self-appointed judge and jury, inflicting further guilt and shame on the post-abortives. This has driven many away from the church and God.

I thank you for bringing up the Project Rachel information as well. I have had the pleasure of being at one of the Project Rachel workshops, meeting Vicki Thorn and getting to know her a bit. Both she and Dr Alveda King (Silent No More) are blessings to the pro-life movement, as well as to the lives they touch personally!

Thank you for your explanation. I agree that forgiveness is very, very important.
