But if their wives or daughters are told that severe birth defects are in the cards for their baby, they will look the other way when the visit to the abortionist is made.
Now I am NOT saying that pro-life Freepers are all in this group. But it's a reason why the polls showing that America is a pro-life nation don't get translated into results.
You're right. I know a family of church going Catholics. Their daughter was carrying a baby with a congenital kidney defect. The deformity was such that the family was told the child wouldn't live long after birth. They tried some sort of experimental surgery, when that didn't work, they aborted. They told anyone who would listen that the abortion in this instance was a "grey area". Even their priest told them that, they said. (I know their priest. I know that's BS. They're hanging on to some kind words he said to them, I am sure). I see the mother of the aborted child from time to time. My guess is, she's an alcoholic now. The grandparents seem much the same on the outside.
