Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister, in a 2004 interview with Bill Moyers, said the following:
I’m opposed to abortion. But I do not believe that just because you are opposed to abortion that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking. If all you want is a child born, but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life, that’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of what pro-life is.
I couldn’t agree with this more. Very well said.
