I've read her apologia and to be perfectly honest it doesn't wash with me.<br /><br />She uses a figure of 70,000 women who die from illegal abortions each year as some sort of justification for abortion in those cases. She also infers that those who claim to be pro-life do not care about these woman. I found that to be scurrilous.<br /><br />Certainly every pro-life activity I have ever been involved in has focused on the need to protect both mother AND child.

I struggle to view how any of this could ever be imagined to be compatible with what the Church teaches. <br /><br />Dr. Beattie on the other hand has never been bothered about whether her personal views are in keeping with the Catholic faith. What makes her so dangerous is the air of respectability given to her by certain prelates.Pétrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278005406146945637noreply@blogger.com
