Whatever you want to call an abortion, it stops a life.  It is no different than murder.  Period.

Why are we so surprised and “shocked” about dog fights and dog executions when abortion is so accepted?

From the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church):

“ 2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:

You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.

God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.”

I am a conservative, and a Roman Catholic (not in order of importance), and my issues generally revolve around the war on terror, international problems (Russia, China, Europe, etc), immigration, and civil liberties on the politics side, and liberalism in the Church and apologetics for the religion side.

Hopefully I’ll be able to opine on this every day, however I work overnights and do other things that take up my time, so it might not be every day.

Thanks!
