The Catholic Church finds these to be the biggest moral issues of our time, I cannot speak for other faiths. <BR/><BR/>For the Catholic Church Abortion is considered murder. There are somewhere around 3000 abortions performed every day give or take a thousand. I do not believe that you can truthfully say that you would think of anything else, before you try and stop the death of roughly 1 million people every year, and if you can, then there is no more use of us arguing on the issue, for your views on the world would be severely distorted.<BR/><BR/>With Same Sex marriage the Catholic Church feels that Homosexuality is a sin. With that in mind, any law that would encourage the act of a sin is fundamentally wrong. Personally, I have no problem with a civil union resulting in the same tax benefits, etc. I feel that Marriage, by definition, is a union between a man and a woman. And therefore I and the Catholic Church disagree with Same Sex Marriage.<BR/><BR/>Finally Euthanasia. Within the current system anyone who tries to commit suicide is labelled as mentally ill. Police officers are made to perform suicide watches. Basically, suicide is illegal. Except, for some reason, some people believe that when a doctor is brought into the mix it is no longer illegal. The other issue is that the patient is being killed, no matter if the person is being put out of their misery or not, they are being killed by the doctor. For that reason it is wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
