<<What is moderately pro-choice?>>

While I don't want to get deeply into an abortion discussion, I'll give you my version of moderately pro-choice. This is someone whose teenage daughter gets pregnant against all advice of elders, is discovered in the first trimester, and cannot/will not be able to raise the child herself. It is someone who is raped resulting in pregnancy. It is a drug addict infected with AIDS who becomes pregnant. It is someone who becomes pregnant due to an incestuous relationship. It is someone with severe medical problems unable to deliver.

Moderately pro-choice means that an early term abortion becomes the lesser of two evils. It is not the Pope's view or the view of the Pro-Life movement, but this is where most Americans, indeed most of the world, comes out on abortion.
