Well, I think that both are necessary. Ultimately, we have to insist
that the taking of any human life is unacceptable. Nevertheless, we
cannot lose sight of the fact that every time a woman feels that her best
choice is to abort her child, that this represents a failure by the
civilization to care for the very essence of what it means to be a woman in
that civilization.

Indeed, one of my favorite charities are the Crisis Pregnancy Centers of
the United States. These centers provide all forms of assistance to
troubled pregnant women so that no woman ever has to feel that she *has* to
abort her child.
