Pro-Life

By Deacon Keith Fournier, Deacon Digest - With a presidential election in the United States soon upon us the allegations of “single-issue politics” are once again being leveled against anyone who condemns procured abortion as immoral and evil. This is happening not only in the public square but within the Church. We find people in the Church again attempting to fold the natural-law crime of procured abortion into a misguided interpretation of Catholic social teaching, which pushes a false moral equivalence between all social justice issues.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews - The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops and a pair of state “pro-life” groups have filed an amicus brief against a Texas family’s effort to save their baby girl from being taken off life support… Tinslee Lewis was born prematurely and has spent her entire life so far at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, where she has undergone various intensive surgeries for a heart defect, lung disease, and severe chronic pulmonary hypertension. Doctors concluded in October that the ten-month-old was beyond saving, and declared their intentions to take her off life support… With the help of Texas Right to Life, Tinslee’s parents obtained and renewed a restraining order against the move. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also filed a brief to help save the little girl.
