Morality on abortion

May 24, 2024 6:30 am • Last Updated: May 24, 2024 6:30 am

I have been coaching boys and girls cross-country at Stonington High School for 40 years. The evil of abortion takes away that chance of life of the baby that God has created them for.

Abortion in our country is now considered a political issue. It is not; it is a moral issue.

The Biden administration is promoting abortion at all stages of life of the baby in the womb and even after. We have pregnancy care centers that provide help and support with counseling, medical, financial, spiritual guidance and love when a girl has an unplanned pregnancy. The centers are staffed by unpaid volunteers and kept open by donations.

Adoption is another option the mother has if she wishes. This help continues after the pregnancy, until the mother can take care of the baby and herself.

The Biden administration is trying to deny aid to these centers.

The two issues on the moral question of abortion: Pro-life, save the baby. Pro-choice, take away the life.
