I think the ultra-right has become aware of the fear that their extreme views instill in a majority of our population. Finally, I would like to comment on your assertion that we all should put the life issue first as the church teaches. Personally, I can't put too much weight on what the church teaches, because there are as many of them, and they teach different things. I prefer to examine what the Bible teaches. It seems to me that the issues that the Bible puts first are faith in and love of God, love for our neighbors, reconciliation, redemption, compassion for the poor, and forgiveness.
Abortion gets scant mention.
Perhaps God is telling us that if we emphasize love and compassion, then abortion will not be an issue. This letter is in response to Mrs. Ratigan's letter published in The Warren Sentinel on April 29. Their are so many important issues that our area needs to deal with. Some people just choose to mind their own business and leave personal choices to the individual who is concerned. May I suggest the many children who could use a little support and help.
