...Catholic view is based on a general respect for all human life, but it does not depend exclusively on the belief that a separate human being appears at the instant of conception. The teaching is that precisely because no one knows when the soul enters the body (or in secular terms, when the fetus becomes a person), the baby-to-be should be given the benefit of the doubt and be fully protected. One blunt analogy: no one would think it morally correct to heave a grenade into a room that is probably empty but just might have a human...
...past two hundred years, the view that the embryo may not be fully human has been in near total eclipse. All modern Popes have opposed abortion from the instant of conception, and the Second Vatican Council termed abortion "an unspeakable crime."

In his liberal adaptation of Wilson's text, Malkovich has shown some up-front ingenuity: spotlighting or freeze-framing a conversation, orchestrating the Ivesian symphony of invective, offering instant replays of the climactic murder. But chaos still reigns. It is as if the frat brothers from Animal House, instead of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, decided to put the show on right here...
