When agnosticism passes into moral cowardice

Rev. Fr. Frank Brennan S.J. A.O. had another good piece on Victoria’s abortion laws the other day. In it, we read that

Section 48 [of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities] provides that 'Nothing in this Charter affects any law applicable to abortion or child destruction'. It was included in the Charter to accommodate the concerns of Professor [George] Williams and his colleagues that the Charter not purport to resolve the question of when life begins for the purposes of defining the right to life.

What good is a charter on human rights if it fails to decide which humans get the rights?! This kind of indifference is an example of how agnosticism passes into moral cowardice.
