> Catholics are "pro birth" in general, but it really doesn't have much in scripture to support it Exodus 20:13: "Thou shalt not kill."
comment
> The whole point of this paper you're citing is that the scientific definition isn't relevant to the ethical debate. I don't think we have the same reading of the paper. Scientific …
