Twisting and turning

Fr. Tad Pacholczyk, Ph.D. is Director of Education at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia and author of a column "Making Sense out of Bioethics" published in many Catholic diocesan newspapers as well as on the NCBC website.
His latest column explores the contortion the pro-abortion lobby goes through to justify their position and their readiness to twist logic to do so. In the end he portrays abortion as the "insurance" which allows people the freedom to engage in the unrestrained, uncommitted, unlimited couplings which are the fruit of the sexual revolution.

In the final analysis, this stands as probably the single greatest tragedy of our time, that the unordered and inordinate sexual desires of men and women have been allowed to twist the most rudimentary moral logic to the point of death for so many of our children.

I find this a fairly accurate indictment of our culture in which one person values the other person based solely upon how and to what degree that person enables one to fulfill his/her own desires.
