Some would think imposing your morality upon on another is evil in the sense of them thinking ahead of what dangers to a child in certain enviroments would bring and you not.

Morality is absolute. It is not situational. If abortion is immoral under no circumstances because it is the killing of a human life, how can that be moral if a situation is not ideal? Is it no longer killing? Is there no longer a human life involved?

I'm not a moral imperialist, but I'm not going to sit on my hands and say that I have no right to tell others what is moral or not.

To say we have no right to impose morality is silly. We have laws. Those laws most certainly do (usually) impose morality on others. One cannot simply say "Well I believe human sacrifice is moral" and then get away with sacrificing someone's heart to their local god. It's a very slippery slope to say we can't judge what others do as moral or immoral solely because of their lot in life. And that goes for abortion, contraception, murder, theft, drunk driving, or what have you.

There is no life involved in contraception. Therefore there is no murder. Abortion, on the other hand, involves the taking of the life of a fetus. You see no difference because you were taught there is no difference. Again, why continue? If you are content with your life in your chuch, then continue it. But allow others to choose their course.
