    It a bit surprising given that he mentioned being catholic, too - the catholic church has generally taken a pretty firm stance on abortion.

    That said, I grew up in the UCC, and it resonates perfectly with the way that they emphasized tolerance. If somebody wants to do something that you don’t like, that’s absolutely fine as long as they don’t force you to participate - in this case, the tolerant, “christian” take on abortion should be “I don’t want one, but if you do, go for it.”
