Abortion in Orthodox countries is a clear legacy of communism. Consider that. Even in Greece, the communist influence was strong, and now they have rampant secularism.
Yes, Reader, I will give you that. The point being is that the EOC is doing little, if any, to address the issue. I would love to see the Orthodox Church re-establish holistic programs as were found in the Byzantine church that addressed social issues and the needs of the whole person, thereby giving a holy alternative to a secular last option. I understand this to be a fairly romantic idea. However, there could be church-sponsored programs to address these issues.
The thing is though, whenever someone (i.e. clergy) does speak up about it, they get shot down. It happened on OC. So what is the point if the Church speaks up, if no one listens and says \\"it is not their job to tell me how to vote\\"..
