'careful ethical decision of the patient'

Upto a million abortions a year in a nation with only 160 million women of ages 0-100
40% on their second abortion
Negligible percentage having anything to do with rape, incest or medical issues

I'm not sure I see the 'careful' or 'ethical' part of any of that

What happens when worldly values infect a church.

Also - "Be you hot or cold. Be lukewarm and I will spit you out." - Jesus Christ. It took the Presbyterian Church 30 years to make a decision and it wasn't much of a decision from the looks of it.
