Courage or Cowardice
Today’s headlines are awash with crime, the dehumanization of children, and the recognition of gender distortion the likes of which I never thought I would see in my lifetime. Even America’s favorite beer is not off limits. So what is going on?

It has been a few months since we last peeked in on the crazy anti-Catholic rantings on Catholics for Choice’s Twitter feed. Take anything the Church teaches on faith and morals and, sure enough, C4C will take a position completely opposite, most especially on the dignity of nascent human life.

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.”
