Christian Today

To protest the morning after pill, a Catholic woman sent photos of fetuses to pharmacies in order to 'educate' pharmacists who dispense the morning after pill.
The judgment was handed down on the case, "ruling that while Mrs Connolly was entitled to send pictures of aborted foetuses in expression of her anti-abortion beliefs, they should have only been sent to people such as MPs, who have a direct opportunity to influence debate, or a change in the abortion law, not members of the public, even if they are professionals actively involved in the moral implications of such a law."
It is not an original revelation that many Christians concern themselves with upholding rights of the unborn but completely disregard the rights and circumstances of women who are, apparently, less important to people like Mrs. Connelly. If I could, I would suggest to those of such religious zeal that they just carry it to the logical end, i.e., have abortion criminalized with life sentences in prison for murder for women who abort and for their health care providers and doctors who are accessories to the crime. Of course this would have to be extended even further to developers and manufacturers of the morning after pill and a huge network of people with other abortion involvements. Thought about in this way the whole thing is ridiculous.
