The moral importance of abortion rights
Of the hotly contested political battles of our time, none is fraught with more accusations of moral turpitude and self-imagined righteousness than that over abortion ? over the question of a woman's right to regulate her own reproductive self.In the United States, it's unusually Judeo-Christianly inspired and frequently evangelical or fundamentalist believers who lead the charge to protect the vanguard of human life, to explain the sacredness that defines a woman's womb.I am deeply appreciative and respectful of the many learned and wise teachings that underlie these religious traditions.
