Yesterday morning, I had a long talk with a friend of mine about this very subject. Michael says it better than I can. This was another Michael (friend) with whom I was discussing the lack of teaching in the Church here. He was decrying the lack of guidance on IVF, abortion and contraception from the pulpit in England. I have several friends in the 65-75 age group. None of them, NONE, have ever heard a sermon against abortion, contraception or IVF in England. None.
