PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (USA) CONSIDERS ALTERING HARD-CORE PRO-ABORTION STANCE The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) committee on social policy has agreed to drop its stance that a late-term, viable fetus may be aborted if there is a lack of resources or commitment to care for a child, Presbyterian News Service reported. The compromise, to be presented at the church’s June national assembly, approves abortions after viability if necessary “to save the life of the woman, to preserve the woman’s health in circumstances of a serious risk to the health of the woman, to avoid fetal suffering as a result of untreatable life-threatening genetic anomalies, or in cases of incest or rape.”  https://www.phillyburbs.com/couriertimes/news/news/0215relbriefs.htm
