I wanted to put up my response to a reply comment over at The Catholic Key Blog that Pro-Choice doesn’t mean Pro-Abortion. I fundementaly disagree. As long as Catholic’s think its okay to support legal abortion because illegal abortions caused deaths of women who tried to procure them then we will have legal abortion in the United States. Just think of how many more deaths have occured in this country because of legal abortion.
This approach to making something legal because people are going to do it anyway just doesn’t hold water. Do you give your child and their friends alcohol or drugs because they are going to do it anyway? Do you allow your child to have sex with their boyfriend or girlfriend at your house because they are going to do it anyway? Do we allow pediphiles freedom to do as they wish because they think it’s okay to molest children? The answer is NO! If something is wrong then it’s wrong and we need to act accordingly.
John 6:54 says:
Where to start with this false notion that Pro-Choice is not Pro-Abortion. Being Pro-Choice allows for the opportunity to murder with legal immunity of being put in jail for your actions. To allow for the opportunity to murder makes someone Pro-Abortion in my mind. I’ll give you two examples that support the statement that Obama is Pro-Abortion and not the fluff term of Pro-Choice.
First in a campaign speech Obama referred to his two daughters and said “I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby,”
Second Obama as an Illinois State Senator was for killing the babies of botched abortions if they made it alive outside the womb. Do some research if you don’t believe me.
So when I say President Obama is Pro-Abortion I really do mean it. He supports it, he’s for it, he’d even suggest it for his own daughters.
Next to the question on how a “Pro-Life” person can support war & the death penalty. There is such thing as “Just War” and instances where the death penalty can be supported. I suggest reading the Catholic Catechism to come to a better understanding of the two issues. I think Todd states the death penalty issue well. I am opposed to torture, and until recently had not drawn a conclusion as to whether water-boarding qualified as torture. I have come to the conclusion that water-boarding is in deed torture and should not be used by interrogators. So if you don’t mind I will stick with my moniker of “Pro-Life”
As far as the GOP goes, I would be happy to vote for a Pro-Life Democrat if one ever existed on my ballot. So far it hasn’t happen for me in my 17 years of voting. I long for the day where I have a “choice” on my voting ballot as I’m definitely Pro-Choice when it comes to a voting ballot. Wouldn’t it be great if Catholics truly had a choice between Pro-Life candidates from multiple political parties? I hold out “hope” for that day.
God Bless.
