(25,839 posts)95. You are spot on.
My very best friend in the whole world, who here I will call Michael (not his actual name) is a practicing Catholic. I was raised Catholic, and started questioning Catholicism and its many beliefs and practices from a very early age.
My friend Michael in general terms opposes abortion, but over the years has come to understand that one rule isn't good enough. He recognizes that his opposition isn't a universal, and understands that abortion is sometimes the best thing.
He and I often have conversations about such things as abortion. We are not totally on the same page, but in the end he gets that individual choice really matters.
Alas, too many who totally oppose abortion don't get the individual choice thing.
