Dems for Life File Amicus Brief | National Catholic Reporter

Dems for Life File Amicus Brief | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: This issue will fade away, as it was all about the election.  Sadly, the Church would benefit by dropping its stance that life begins at fertilization and instead take the view that it begins at Gastrulation (when both parents genes' control development).  Once that argument is made, the only counter arguments to allow abortion are the problems of equal protection having to do with criminalization of doctors and not mothers or parents and of dealing with investigative authority in miscarriages (as well as tort relief).  These are not issues that simply go away just because you are sympathetic to first trimester embryos.
