A useful summary on Jesus and sex here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/sex_jesu.htm which suggests - particularly taken together with the strong Christian tradition that tradition itself is divinely inspired and authoritative - that it isn't possible to be both Christian and liberal - using the L-word in any of the various senses we understand it here. It is perhaps also worth repeating, in the unlikely event of any Catholic doctor reading LC, that there is a view that safe legal abortion contributes to the reduction of the crime rate, by preventing the birth of young males to more or less chaotic single mothers in more or less chaotic neighbourhoods.
