84/365 Terry's Parents

Senior year Terry’s devoutly Catholic parents learned their college-bound daughter was miraculously pregnant. Abortion was never an option until Terry ruled out adoption. Then they reasoned god surely created abortion for Ivy-league situations like theirs but remained morally against it for other people’s daughters.

Well thank goodness they found the loophole in their morality code.

Catholic-logic as complex as Catholic-guilt but with more calories.

okay, this post was stunning in how simply it illustrates the "not one size fits all" morality that is so conveniently practiced by some. then, to top it off, the comments are delicious, too.

I've wondered, on occasion, how many people have waffled on their ability to cleave to Catholicism over this one issue (not that it's the only issue, but it certainly is a deal-breaker)
