Many years ago in a college political science course, I ran a survey that gauged a person's involvement in religious life, measured by attendance, to their views on abortion. The conclusion . . . regular churchgoers were much more likely to be pro-life. And the denomination didn't matter much. Most of those in the survey were Christians so it didn't really shed much light on other faiths.St. Louis Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206343320261458781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456960610211818372.post-7319816470105439402008-07-04T19:52:00.000-05:002008-07-04T19:52:00.000-05:00Anti-Abortion is a Christion position, not just a ...Anti-Abortion is a Christion position, not just a Catholic one. And I believe the Mormons seriously outpace the Catholics when it comes to the number of children in a typical family. (And I'm not speaking of the FLDS, but of the mainstream monogomis Mormons.)<BR/><BR/>I was born and raised Catholic, but have many extended family members of other various Christian faiths. Whatever formal religion that brings you closer to the teachings of the Lord will do for me :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456960610211818372.post-81822572634192052422008-07-03T23:18:00.000-05:002008-07-03T23:18:00.000-05:00Just a little joke LMG.

Invitro is such a "good thing" because it "helps" those people that can't conceive on their own to have an option to have THEIR OWN baby. I've had family tell me I would probably consider doing the same thing if God hadn't blessed our family the way he has. I think not. God didn't design it to work that way. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, this is probably only the beginning of what is to come, I'm sure. I never thought I would be witness to such atrocities in our world. . . .I just pray that all the awesome Catholics out there are doing their fair share in "reproducing" to change the mentality of our world. Our children are the future. . .let's have lots of them! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456960610211818372.post-90237024618695806152008-06-30T07:51:00.000-05:002008-06-30T07:51:00.000-05:00Designing your children is truly horrible, and hav...Designing your children is truly horrible, and having the gene doesn't mean that you can't avoid the cancer.<BR/><BR/>Twelve years ago I belonged to Le Leche League and a local news reporter attended whose grandmother, mom and two sisters had all had and some died of breast cancer.<BR/><BR/>Her doctor told her to nurse each of her four babies for at least two years, she did and has avoided the cancer, even though she has the gene!<BR/><BR/>I had a lactation consultant at a local hospital show me a medical journal in which it stated that there has never been a recorded case of breast cancer in a woman who nursed six years or more in her life! (It doesn't have to be in a row)<BR/><BR/>Of course, to do this, that would mean that couples would have to break the two children per family "rule"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
