We need moral solution on abortion

Posted September 02, 2017 1:00 am

I would like to respond to "Urge realistic abortion solutions" by Kimberly Cavill, Chicago, by observing what the litany outlined of anti-abortion policies and defunding Planned Parenthood won't do includes saving babies.

Both courses will indeed "save babies" in light of the fact that Planned Parenthood performs more than 300,000 abortions each year. Contraception that includes abortifacients like RU486 kills fertilized embryos.

She also states that humanity has not yet managed to legislate itself into righteousness. True, because you can't legislate morality. Morality does not come from comprehensive sex education programs in public schools. We need moral solutions to moral dilemmas which demands moral answers which would include values training (your moral compass) as well as changes in lifestyles.
