Letter to the Editor,   Diversity of pro-life movement! The truth is the pro-life movement is extremely diverse. People of different ideologies, political parties, and belief systems care about preborn babies and work wholeheartedly to protect them.  Few in the public know that there are passionate pro-lifers who are feminists, secularists and peace activists.  There are numerous feminist groups that oppose abortion, and pro-peace/antiwar groups that oppose all forms of violence, abortion  included among those forms of violence to be renounced and rejected.  Far too many people reject the pro-life message not because they have thoroughly thought it through or carefully considered it, but because they associate a pro-life stance with those ...
