Today on the "Pro-Life" Holy Day. Oh, where do I begin?
1) constant emphasis is on the human being's "Right to Life". But there IS NO INDEPENDENT RIGHT TO LIFE apart from God. What's at issue is not OUR right to life, but GOD'S RIGHTS OVER LIFE, which He can give and take away as He pleases. Where was Isaac's "Right to Life" when God asked Abraham to sacrifice him? In arguing this way, the Pro-Life morons undercut any opposition they could ever have to assisted ѕυιcιdє.
2) constant parading of women who committed the sin of abortion, portraying them as "victims", eliciting sympathy for them, etc. EVERY WOMAN whom they parade out there was "FORCED" to do it by a boyfriend or family members. Women who do this commit a crime and should receive significant jail time for it. Abortion doctors should get the death penalty. Instead these "victims" are paraded out as if they were "heroes" of some sort. Not only does this have the effect of condoning the crime and softening the reality of how heinous it is, but it does not help the women. Only when they admit the gravity of their crime and their responsibility for the sin can they have true contrition; so long as they are constantly in "making excuses" mode, there can be no forgiveness for them. And in putting the emphasis on emotional victimhood, the moronic Pro-Lifers again undercut their position since they're waging battle on the enemy's turf ... emotional utilitarianism. As soon as the Abortionists come up with a completely painless method of abortion, the trauma to the mother in being forced to have an unplanned pregnancy trumps the pain inflicted upon the unborn child. They also lose decidedly on the contraception front.
3) Pro-Lifism becoming the "Super Dogma" among neo-con Catholics. How good a Catholic you are now becomes defined as how Pro-Life you are, i.e., whether or not you walk around carrying posters at "rallies". Being Catholic is not about orthodoxy of belief and virtue but about Pro-Life zealotry. By their definition, many Protestants are more Catholic than Catholics. You could deny 95% of all Catholic dogma, fornicate every day of the week, etc., but if you carry a Pro-Life poster at a rally, then you're a good and devout Catholic. That leads to this stomach-turning Ecuмenical joint-venture with Prots on this issue. But Prots are part of the problem and can never be part of the solution. Their Prot erosion of the rights and prerogatives of the Catholic Church in society, their Prot emphasis on conscience and subjectivism which eventually infected the Catholic Church and led to Vatican II are what CAUSED the problem. Were it not for the rise of Protestantism, there WOULD BE NO LEGAL ABORTION. Prots are overwhelmingly pro-contraception also.
4) Neo-Con Catholics who are zealous supporters of Vatican II and Religious Liberty refusing to admit that Vatican II is a root cause of the problem, with its emphasis on Religious Liberty. They hypocritically go around denouncing Satanic rites being done in public, but according to the principles of Religious Liberty, they have no standing to oppose these things. They refuse to call out the criminally-delinquent V2 Popes for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP ABORTION. If I were Pope, I would command ALL CATHOLICS to STOP PAYING TAXES UNTIL THEIR GOVERNMENT OUTLAWS ABORTION. What's the US going to do, put 100,000,000 Catholics in jail? V2 Popes refuse to command the bishops to refuse Communion to the Pro-Abort politicians. V2 Popes refuse to excommunicate Pro-Abortion politicians and to depose bishop who refuse to mount a serious resistance to abortion.
5) Promoting "peaceful resistance" and carrying posters around. If we had true Catholic leaders, we would mount an armed ιnѕυrrєcтισn to overturn this grossly-immoral law. But people don't really believe that abortion is murder. Not really. What's the difference if some tyrant was running around and slaughtering toddlers in preschools? Would that justify an armed ιnѕυrrєcтισn against the tyrant? Then why doesn't abortion? All the Pro-Abortion politicians and judges and Supreme Court justices should be tried and then publicly executed for mass murder like the nαzιs were at Nuremberg. All the others should be jailed for doing nothing to stop abortion.
So you can see why every time I see the Pro-Lifers out there on EWTN, far from being edified, my stomach turns.
