To reduce abortion they suggest providing health care and economic assistance to women and families, robust alternatives such as support for adoption and appropriate and effective sex education for young people, and a host of other policy measures that have proved capable of reducing the abortion rate in the United States and around the world. Of course, voting for a "prolife" candidate does not guarantee that he will appoint Supreme Court justices who accept the church's natural- law arguments against abortion.

It is unfortunate that Amesh A. Adalja's poor personal religious experience convinced him that all religion is oppressive and dangerous. He may need to consider the number of victims of Nazism, Communism and Maoism to contrast the perceived dangers of religion with the dangers of its absence.
The main charge of his letter "Hallmark of theocracy" (Feb. 8 and TribLIVE.com) is that anti-abortion positions are "entirely based upon the faith and mysticism of religion." This seems flat-out false. While most religions indeed oppose abortion, equally strong arguments against abortion are provided by biology, sociology and economics.

WASHINGTON -- Prior to recent events, I intended to write about the GOP's message problem with the Sunday's murder of abortion doctor George Tiller makes my title inappropriate, but the idea remains relevant. The adage, of course, is "Don't shoot the messenger," meaning we shouldn't necessarily blame the person who delivers bad news. For the GOP these days, however, the problem isn't so much the message. It's the messenger.
By grotesque coincidence, Tiller's murderer furthers the point. It has long been a problem for the GOP that some of the party's cherished positions are embraced most enthusiastically by people whose grip on reality is sometimes ... tenuous. This is especially true with regard to abortion. There are certainly compelling secular arguments against abortion that one migh...

Religious arguments against legalized abortion state that the court decision upholding the law creates a secular religion of radical selfism, which denies true democracy. The ruling allows US citizens to decide their own beliefs concerning life, existence and universal meaning, which religious leaders argue is contrary to the intent of the nation's Founding Fathers.

Pope Paul VI during his papacy rejected the use of artificial contraceptives. Although many liberal Roman Catholics and population control establishments hoped that he update the church concerning this issue, he used the traditional natural law arguments against contraceptives. Given the apparent controversy regarding contraceptive, the church faced a much tougher challenge regarding abortion, which it taught was a ruder assault on "the laws of nature," and "of nature's God.

I managed to read the first three paragraphs of Mr. [Bill] Adams' column ["Republican Party earns endorsement," Oct. 3] and had to put the paper down to keep from vomiting.
The cause of my discomfort is my perception that Mr. Adams is promoting this ideology while wearing blinders. And like a plow horse, he doesn't even have the ability to look beyond his own limited field of vision.
