Abortion

While reading Bryan Cones' article, I noticed that his view on abortion is very different than that of the Catholic Church.  The Catholic Church believes in natural family planning and that every time a couple has sex, they should be doing it with the purpose of conceiving a child.  However, most couples don't practice that rule.  Bryan Cones took a very realistic approach on the fact that abortion rates are rising in underdeveloped countries.  One way to reduce those rates would be to increase the availability of contraceptives to women in those countries.  I think that I agree with his view, because I think it's better that a baby is not conceived and therefore escapes the risk of being aborted.  If an unplanned pregnancy occurs, the baby will most likely be aborted and in these underdeveloped countries, the mother could die as well.  I do believe that every form of life has a right to live, but abortion is a very complex subject, and I think that the Catholic Church could probably modernize its stance a bit to coincide with the majority of its members.
