Fr. Anthony Amato offers this homily on abortion for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A), at St. Mary’s of the Lake, Ontario, NY. The topic of abortion is an uncomfortable one for all of us. It should be. But we have to talk about it, and we must talk about it relation to public policy as well. I have a duty as a priest, as a father, to teach and to inform consciences on such issues.
