Once again, Tribune readers were treated to a lecture on the sanctity of life by an administrator of Catholic Charities (“Choosing life,” Voice of the people, Feb. 8).
The Rev. Michael M. Boland began his rambling letter to the editor by using the Roe vs. Wade court ruling to contrast the “culture of life” in his organization.
What his letter fails to acknowledge is that the Catholic Church bears a great deal of blame in the abortion issue by strictly outlawing the use of birth control.
Let’s get this straight:
Unwanted pregnancy is the problem, not abortion.
Boland states that abortion is “not an answer to personal, social and economic problems.”
But if you can imagine a world with fewer ills created by unwanted births, you can imagine a world less dependent on charitable organizations such as his.
