see Thank God, I made it Home by Kathleen Laplante
Her account begins with
"I remember it clearly. My husband and I decided to leave the Church, and we invited his Catholic parents over to justify ourselves. It was 1990 and we recently had our first son. With him on my hip, I stood in front of my mother-in-law and addressed the topic of abortion. Acerbic and ignorant, I asked, ‘Who does the Catholic Church think they are, telling me I can’t have an abortion if I want one?’ – ‘Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me.’
My in-laws were terror-stricken."
