Some truths need to be stated unequivocally. When you teach your children tolerance, that tolerance should not extend to undermine the truths we hold to be self-evident.
Truth must be believed and stated unequivocally in the face of opposition. On the topic of abortion, one should never start off with "I believe life begins at conception."
Life beginning at conception is not a matter of faith--it is a matter of science and common sense. We do not "believe" that life begins at conception--Life Begins At Conception. Period. You need to stand behind that hard fact, in an uncompromising posture, to have any pro-life standing in the lion's arena. Anything less than that is not only intellectually dishonest, but morally compromising, and undermines any argument one with pro-life sensibilities may have.
The "that's your truth" argument is pervasive today. The pro-abortion advocates are 100% wrong on this issue, and their "truth" is not a truth at all but a fallacy.
If a Roe overturn comes down the pipeline, dig your heels in, because you will be accosted from all sides. Remember the words of the Lord during those times, "He who stands firm to the end will be saved" (Mt 24:13).
