Question: Nature kills unborn babies. If abortion is wrong then Why do some unborn babies die naturally even without abortion?

There are also accidents were people die. That does not give anyone the right to go out and kill someone.

All Human Life is Equally Important and should be respected and protected.

Question: If Love is the solution then Why do some unborn babies die naturally?

The answer is that sin entered the world and evil wants to consume. We are given free will to make choices. We have been asked by God to Love. God will not force us to Love. He has given us the choice. If we make the choice to ignore Love and make the choice to pick something instead of Love then we will suffer the pain of evil.

Love is the only thing that will stop the pain of evil.

Abortion is slaughter to 3200 babies a day and 1.2 Million a year in America. Abortion is not Love. Abortion is not a solution.

Their are many solutions that can be combined to help us care about every life.

Adoption and adoption education is a solution. Love Education is a solution. Strengthening our adoption centers and matching adopting parents with children is a solution. Education on Respect for Life is a solution. Education on STDs is a solution. Education on self control is a solution. Education about conception and the stages of an unborn baby is a solution. General education on responsibility is a solution. Education on the responsibility and cost of parenting is a solution.

Love, Responsibility, Self Control, Respect for Life, and Adoption combined are solutions.

We have solutions that will work. We have solutions that are Love for all human life equally. We have solutions that don't require harming the least of our people. We can love others as ourself.

Stopping a life is not love. Choosing a life style over a life is not love.

We can love each human life.

Seek, Speak, Share, and Defend the Truth.

The Truth will set us Free.

Love Life.

"Judge not lest you be judged?" How is a label like cafeteria (i.e. inferior) Catholic not a judgement? How is it that members of the clergy are telling public officials how to legislate? Especially given the actions of some members of the clergy?

Is it better to allow people who believe they are not capable of raising children to have a child during economic, emotional, or other instability? Is that fair to the child? Is that fair to society?

Given that there is also a move afront to only allow abstinence education, how will one prevent unwanted prgenancies?

As the recent Governor of Alaska's family shows, even devout families include children/teens that have sex despite the 'best of circumstances.' This also dispels the myth that only heathens or non-believers from broken homes have sex before marriage.

Also, if morality (values) is so important why are Dan Burton and David Vitter still in office? Why is Sanford STILL Governor of South Carolina? Talk about pick your own values!

Our founding fathers did not want to have the confluence of faith and government as one may corrupt the other. Those of us who are not Catholic or Christian have a right to long-held, Judeo-Christian rights, abilities and decision making abilities. Those who are Catholic have the same American rights as those who aren't or those who somehow sit in judgement of them.

Maybe the Catholic church can keep kids safe, can not deviate to a less than inter-faith, ecumenical approach to non-Catholics, and not go back in time when it comes to liturgy, those who are welcomed back into the church, and not forget the fine ways of Pope John Paul II.

Maybe he was a bit more open to people of other faiths because he saw what narrow-mindedness, hatred, and disdain did when unchecked, when so many said nothing!

If Sebelius thinks she can choose which parts of Catholic dogma she will follow, she is just a "Cafeteria Catholic", not a real Roman Catholic. The Roman Catholic Church is not a democracy. Shame on Sebelius. Thank God that Archbishop Naumann has the fortitude and is upstanding enough to take action against Sebelius. Unfortunately, it appears that Sebelius could care less. She needs to stop calling herself a Roman Catholic. More of the Roman Catholics in the Obama administration need to be told to follow church dogma or else.

Roy of NJ is obviously either a non-Catholic or a "Cafeteria Catholic!"

Susan of IN,

That was a great share about the Truth.

Jesus came to testify to the Truth.

Love does not destroy.

The Truth will set us Free.

Christians respect life period. That means respect for the elderly, middle age, children and unborn children. That includes all human beings. That includes human beings that are in jail, poor, weak, rich, strong, all cultures, all religions, those that tell the Truth, and even those that stretch the truth to the very far extremes and show total hatred toward Christians.

We love and respect life and understand that Life is important. Every Life is equally important.

Abortion slaughters 3200 babies a days and 1.2 Million a year in America. It is simply wrong.

We don't want the strong slaughtering the weak period. The slaughter of abortion is wrong. The slaughter of abortion is not a solution. The slaughter of abortion is not Love. Love does not destroy.

Education on Love is a solution. Education on making commitments and standing behind what you say and do is a solution. Education on making responsible decisions is a solution. Adoption is a solution.

We should not kill

Life is Important and Equal
