University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh didn\u2019t mince words this past weekend when he made his stance against abortion clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born,\u201d he said during his keynote address at a \u201cRight to Life\u201d event in Plymouth on Sunday,\u00a0according to the Detroit Catholic<\/a>. \u201cI love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death. My faith and my science are what drive these beliefs in me.\u201d<\/p>\n He also spoke about the campaign to codify abortion access into Michigan law. Harbaugh said, \u201cPassions can make the process messy, but when combined with respect, it ultimately produces the best outcomes. This process has been passionate and messy, but I have faith in the American people to ultimately develop the right policies and laws for all lives involved. I recognize one\u2019s personal thinking regarding the morality of a particular action may differ from their thinking on whether the government should make that action illegal. There are many things one may hold to be immoral, but the government appropriately allows because of some greater good or personal or constitutional right.\u201d<\/p>\n The coach continued, \u201cUltimately, I don\u2019t believe that is the case with abortion. Yes, there are conflicts between the legitimate rights of the mother and the rights of the unborn child. One resolution might involve incredible hardship for the mother, family, and society. Another results in the death of an unborn person.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Detroit Catholic (@detroitcatholic)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
