conception...therefore, you have to ask "WHY?"...and then discern the implications of his statement. As part of my personal discernment, I sought out and read the "Where Peter Is" article by a commentator who was Anti-Abortion, which I've shared with the OF. In it, I found that not only Pope Francis, but the entire Magisterium of the RCC has never definitively stated that Personhood began at conception. Going further in my discernment, I reflected on the RCC's teaching with regard to "Just Wars" where the intrinsic evil of killing other Persons was 'sanctioned', but only under very specific conditions/circumstances.

There's more to discuss here when it comes to Abortion and given the above truths...plus the documented fact that since 1973 polls of all U.S. citizens...including Catholics...show that the vast majority (80-90%) believe that Abortion should be legal and available under certain conditions/circumstances (i.e. not just me)...there's every reason to have that discussion. So, stow your vitriol and join in a reasoned discussion as to why women should be able to choose the option of abortion...as was determined in Roe v. Wade.
