Principled Stands on Abortion

Follow this link to the letter that Joseph Girard wrote to the editor of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. They headlined the letter with the title, “Pro-life is about human rights”
Follow this link to the letter to the editor that I wrote in response or read below.
I applaud a letter writer from Worcester who takes a principled stand without exception for the human rights of the fetus (Telegram & Gazette, June 22). I presume that he would also stand by the principle, without exception, for the human rights of women.
What I would like the antiabortionists to explain is how they remain true to both principles, without exception, when there is a conflict between the two. Clearly an exception has to be made on one or both principles.
Only when antiabortionists recognize this conflict can there be any point in having a discussion.
Follow this link to the Dianne Williamson column titled, “Another rigor of priesthood ends in scandal” . This is the one that Joseph Girard says prompted his letter.

I have re-scanned Dianne Williamson’s article that was mentioned in the letter by Joseph Girard.
The link to his letter follows:

He complained about her characterizing pro-lifers as “right-wing”.
The link to her article follows:

I do a text search of her column and cannot find the words “pro”, “life”, “right”, “wing”, nor “abortion” in it. It is amazing how one can read words that aren’t even there.
