Though I consider myself to be "Pro-Choice" I can certainly understand and relate to this by Joan Chittister, a Benedictine Sister and a best-selling author and well-known international lecturer on topics of justice, peace, human rights, women's issues, and contemporary spirituality in the Church and in society.
"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed.
And why would I think that you don't?
Because you don't want any tax money to go there.
That's not pro-life.
That's pro-birth.
We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
