General

Document. "From my perspective as a religious pacifist, I find this proposal [free abortion on demand as a principal plank in the liberationists' platform] thoroughly abhorrent." He shall argue "that abortion is immoral and still recognize compelling practical and theoretical reasons for not using state authority to impose a moral judgement that falls so far short of universal acceptance within the political community." "In a very real sense it is the choice between integrity and hypocrisy."
