Great defense of our teaching on the moral reasoning against abortion. I was about to post it until you used the word most in regard to cases in which abortion would be morally wrong. I know that a number of observers of the posting would feel that vindicates their notion that there are at least some morally acceptable cases, and they could choose when it is deemed morally acceptable. Maybe I am too much of a hardliner.
