As a pro-life liberal and a pro-life Democrat, I wholeheartedly support better, more comprehensive sex education and contraception access to reduce the abortion rate.

In Pro-Life Feminism: Different Voices (1985), editor Gail Grenier Sweet calls for:

easy access to contraception, sufficient maternity and paternity leaves, job protection, job-sharing and flex-time, aids to women who wish to stay home to raise young children, tax breaks and subsidies for women caring for elderly relatives at home, community based shelters for pregnant single women to learn parenting skills and finish their education, upgraded pension plans to alleviate the poverty faced by many elderly women, humane care of the handicapped and elderly in nursing homes, hospices for the terminally ill, medical care for infants born with handicaps, shelters for battered women, childcare programs, etc.

In the December 1993 issue of Harmony: Voices for a Just Future, a "consistent-ethic" periodical on the religious Left, editor Rose Evans, in an article entitled "How Will We Revere Life?" writes:

"This editor has long been aware of the relative success of the Dutch support system for pregnant women, compared to that of the U.S. The Dutch abortion rate is a minute fraction of the American. I believe the rate for young women in their teens is about one-twentieth of the U.S. rate. And this is done not so much by restrictive laws (although there are some restrictions) as by real social support for pregnant women and mothers.

"The situation for pregnant women in the U.S. who don't have assured income, family support and medical insurance is abysmal and getting worse. Choice is a joke. Women don't have money for decent food, decent housing, or decent medical care, nor adequate support after the child is born."

"Want to Stop Abortions?" asks the June 1995 newsletter for the Colorado Peace Mission in Boulder, CO. "Make them unnecessary. Provide everyone with: A choice of whether to have sex….and with whom; Comprehensive sex education; Non-coercive family planning; Safe, affordable birth control; Open, honest talk about sex; Loving parents..."

In II Corinthians 12:8, the 'apostle' Paul says Jesus told him three times, "my grace is sufficient for thee."

The Christians I encounter are under the impression that this means they're free to do whatever they want (ignoring Jesus' and Paul's other teachings).

So homosexuality, abortion, and presumably all other moral issues are not a sin.

Just call on Jesus three times! :-)
