The church need to teach men & women not to engage in unlawful sex.
I do not believe in the attitude of prolife, but to leave woman alone in her problems .
Church Teachings cover ALL with regard to Sinful Sex. .
Still … even some lawfully Married still Opt to Abort their Child!

When unasked to - I wound up in my mother’s womb.
My body was and is my body and not my mother’s.

A child who may or shall be born with defects - connects with First
