Archie,

To answer your first question, that is exactly what the Apostles did.  Insist is not the right word, but encourage is a better word.   I try to live, albeit failing at times, consistent with the tenants of the Catholic Church.    That is what we have taught our children, why we sacrificed in order to provide to them a parochial private education and anticipate that these same tenants will be passed on to our grandchildren.  All pro-life people are trying to do is defend those lives who cannot defend themselves.  Read that essay again.  I cannot imagine a heart so hard that would read that and not understand what being pro-life really is all about.  No more plain and simpler than that.  Again, limited faith in what God can do for a mother's and child's life in this situation often results in acts of convenience that affect the mother long after the procedure has been performed.     Regarding machines that you say prevent or delay death, try inserting "preserving life" and you will have my answer.
