Complicating Abortion

Amidst the current debates and conflict around Planned Parenthood funding and what does or does not happen to fetal tissue, the takeaway from this particular culture war (a phrase I hate, but that’s a discussion for another time) is that either you are pro-killing babies or anti-women. My personal position on abortion has changed over time; what once was clearly black or white has become gray. As I have mourned with friends and family members who have miscarried and supported those who have opted to medically terminate their pregnancies, my once-firm beliefs have shifted.
