White House Dfends Planned Parenthoods Ethics

Looks like a full court press by the White House to defend planned Parenthod.

Does it get anymore morally repugnant than this?

The Democratic party cannot divorce themselves frm PPH, because they are so closely attached at the hip.

By the way, where is the Pope in all of this? Instead of running around like he is Robin Hood, maybe he should take a stand toward the US's policy of allowing the wholesale slaughter of the unborn.

when the Pope gets here he is set to address congress. I would be surprised if the subject did not come up at that time.
Meanwhile he's doing his homework, which is a good thing.

as for the White House, it's the usual spin of garbage.

Of course the WH defends their involvement with PP. Just goes to show what they really believe. Even with all the evidence of selling baby parts like some sort of macabre flea market.

Where did all of our Pro-Life Democrats go? There used to be a lot of them. Now it seems they have all been voted out or retired.

I'm confident His Holiness will study up on the issue before he gets here to the US and will not go in shooting from the hip.

The Pope is consistently anti-abortion and had made that clear. The disposal of aborted (purposefully or spontaniously) fetal remains is a less clear and far less pressing moral issue. It is making the news today among the overly-emotional, but it doesn't have much if any effect on which policies we should support and which we should oppose. What Planned Parenthood does with aborted children is not even a sliver of a percent of the moral issue that actually aborting children is.

Considering how much funds line the Democrats from this organisation it is no wonder that they will defend a big source of their political donations.

The one thing that Obama is willing to put his neck out for is the right to kill babies, even those born alive.

In this, he is a typical Democrat.

The ethics of Planned Parenthood ARE the ethics of the Democratic Party of America.
The absolute right to kill babies is the stalwart of the Democratic platform.
Obama has not lost any votes among Catholics because of this either.
Well, maybe the odd one here or there, but nothing electorally significant.

The fetal tissue sales - is a new issue.
I cant say if the Pope heard of it yet and or prepared to speak on it yet.

However; the truth is - and i see it for myself on the forum... it doesnt matter what the Popes say on abortion - ppl who dont oppose it - will continue to not oppose it even if it means - the lukewarm response 'Its not my problem' or 'It cant be changed..'
So the party ticket will keep the same folks - regardless of what the Pope says.
How many years have we been on this forum now?

Morally repugnant is spot on, my friend, spot on.

The Democrat part is tethered, yoked to the pro-choice abortion platform. There were some pro-life members who were Democrat, but those days are gone. No Democrat can survive and move to the national stage unless they are pro-abortion.

Thats a fact...
And why pro life democrats switch tickets.

They switched tickets...to republican...where they are allowed to be pro life and still run for president.

Feminists are important supporters of the Democratic Party. If the working class would wake up and stop supporting those whose policies are harmful to them Democrats would need feminists less.

The only thing more repugnant is when I see Catholics saying how much they love Planned Parenthood.

Im glad i dont run into them.

I'd say I was a pro life Democrat, but truth be told I'm closer to a pro life Green/Socialist type. While Democrats tend to support abortion, Republicans tend to support the death penalty, war, and the dismantling of the social safety net. I guess I need my own party.

Those 3rd parties remain invisible - and i've seen some of them on issues - they are strange birds.

The thing is - Catholic moral teaching doesnt disallow the death penalty [and Tradition maintains it wont for the sake of society and their safety - no jail is fool proof even today etc], the Just War doctrine [nations need to defend themselves]
But abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage are non negotiable.

Well, like I said, I'm a Catholic agnostic, I don't support the death penalty, unjust wars, dismantling the social safety net, destroying the pkanet, etc. I'm pro life but don't see a problem with secular government allowing gay marriage. I'm on the fence about euthanasia...I don't see a situation where I would want it, mainly because I don't have confidence yet in the existence of the afterlife do I want to stick around as long as I can, and maybe find faith sometime. Then again, I'm lucky to not be suffering, but I have witnessed what my father is going through and i can see why some would choose that route.

The problem with disallowing just wars is losing sovereignty and freedom via enemies.
If anyone becomes too complacent and too pacifist - an enemy would see that weakness and we would all be dying like the Christians in the Middle East.

Sorry to hear your struggles - but - the good news is that faith of a mustard seed is sufficient. A lot of folks have the same struggles in life. Just dont let it undermine your walk.

Suffering shortens our length of time in purgatory which is not a short time usually...better to suffer while we can as temporal penance than suffer years in purgation.
