I do not believe we will ever reach a legal consensus that life begins at conception or that contraception should be outlawed to protect the life of the unconceived. I'm being a realist here.

I agree with you, P-Marlowe. But then, I'm a realist, too.

It seems to me there cannot really be a "legal consensus" without an underlying social/moral consensus. Which evidently we do lack.

Under the circumstances, it seems to me the best the law can do is to mitigate the damage to Life occasioned by a society increasingly callous on life issues, from cradle to grave.

Thank you so much, P-Marlowe, for your insightful essay/post!

That's an understatement! The culture of death's new push is to be allowed to systematically kill those who are most certainly alive.

Indeed, and it gets worse every day in the name of tolerance.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
