Let’s talk about abortion and religion

Kim Ketola

Here’s my take on a weird and troubling week for abortion in the news.

Three stories especially illustrate how our beliefs determine who lives and who dies when it comes to abortion.

First we have Hillary Clinton declaring to an abortion-friendly audience at the Women in the World Summit:

“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”

Got that, Pastor? It’s your job to get your flock…
