Letter: Sex is root issue with pro-life movement

There has been a raging debate on when life actually begins.

Like many things in life, people have made this more complicated than it really is. Life begins when a woman decides to give birth to her fetus, and government and religion should stay out of it. In other words, people should mind their own business.

There is a school of thought that pro-life people are not really pro-life. They are pro-birth. Apparently starving and homeless children just can't get the pro-life forces energized like abortion can.

A large segment of the pro-life movement is told by their church that contraception is a sin, even if you are having sex with your husband.

This clearly shows that the pro-life movement has a problem with sex, otherwise the pre-occupation with stopping abortion would concentrate on providing easy access to birth control for all.
