I usually avoid discussing the pro's and con's of abortion but I have to chime in here.

Both our kids are adopted - and through those terrible Catholic agencies you mentioned. We know for a fact that their parents willingly put them up for adoption after getting themselves into a difficult situation at an early age.
They could have chosen abortion, but instead they opted for life and my wife and I, our parents who became doting grandparents, my children, my grandchildren and their yet unborn children are eternally indebted to these wonderful people for having that courage.
When my daughter was in grade school someone from Planned Parenthood came to the class to speak about abortion.
She and her best friend Debbie, a Jewish girl who was also adopted through a Jewish agency, both stood up and told that woman that if were up to her, they wouldn't be alive. They seem to have inherited the courage of their natural parents.
Debbie and my daughter were each other's maid of honor and are still as close as ever. Debbie follows her Jewish traditions seriously, has a slew of kids of her own and all of them are outstanding people.
Our niece married a young man who was adopted by a US family through a Catholic agency after he was found abandoned in Seoul, Korea as an infant. That young man graduated at the top of his class from a large university, served with distinction as a Marine officer and went on to found a company that now has twenty employees. He and our niece have 6 children - 5 natural and one they adopted thru a Catholic agency in Cambodia. All of their children are excellent students and all work with their parents at Habitat for Humanity.
You can probably guess which one gets the best grades and is the best athlete...the one from Cambodia.

I grieve for the person in the article you mention.. any death is a cause for grief and can not be justified.

But choosing life is a cause for joy, not grief, Kevin and those religious agencies, with all their faults, help people choose life.
