DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Big Business Abortion NOT happy with “Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania” | Fr. Z's Blog

Rewire.News is a radical leftist and pro-death internet concern. It’s chairman is the head of Big Business Abortion (aka Planned Parenthood) in Arizona. I checked out their site and afterward felt the need to use an eyewash. These people are undiluted fanatics who want as many abortions, limitless contraception paid for by someone else, and as much sex without consequences as possible (except that that results in the consequence of more money for Big Business Abortion… so I guess they do want consequences, the kind they can kill and sell for parts).

Their self-description:

Rewire.News is an award-winning, nonprofit daily online publication devoted to evidence-based reporting on reproductive and sexual health, rights, and justice, and the intersections of racial, environmental, immigration, and economic justice.
We publish news, analysis, and investigative reporting created by professional journalists, editors, and multimedia experts. We also offer vigorous commentary, debate, and opinion rooted in fact and considered thinking.
Our work is intended to fulfill the core role of journalism in a democratic society by fostering public knowledge and dispelling misinformation on issues more commonly shrouded in misinformation and ideology.

What a joke.

With that description in mind, look at their reaction to the SCOTUS decision in Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania.

Any piece that begins, “We’re tired of these damn nuns. Are you?” is going to aim at “dispelling misinformation” and avoiding “ideology”.

So, the Little Sisters of the Poor went to court and they won. These hysterical merchants of death at Rewire now scream that the nuns can “come after your birth control”.

I don’t think these people are stupid… though sin makes you stupid and certain sins invite the attachment of demons who can fog your brain. I conclude that they are simply malicious hypocrites.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
