Abortion and the Golden Rule

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" says the Golden Rule. This applies well to abortion. Were any of us unexpectedly pregnant, we would want others to help calm us down and find a life-affirming way forward. Given the documented damage abortion does to the women who undergo them, that way would include bringing the child to birth-and supporting the mom all along the way, and beyond. Putting ourselves in the position of an unborn child-which each of us was, once-we would certainly want others to respect us enough to protect our lives. The Golden Rule directs us to support the lives of women and their children in crisis pregnancies. No to abortion; yes to life.
