They didn’t see the baby as a separate person.How did they view it as a tumor? Seriously!
 
Honestly, whenever I talk to fellow Catholics about pro-life issues I feel like the conversation goes like this:

Me: I’m so glad our Church supports pro life issues! When can we repeal the death penalty?
Catholics: NO! Death penalty stays!
Me: But, I thought we were against killing…
Catholics: Only against killing innocent people! Like babies! Abortion is wrong!
Me: Okay, so we can fight to keep innocent people alive? Like the kids on the border?
Catholics: NO! Their parents are guilty!
Me: But the kids aren’t…
Catholics: NO! Their parents should have known! It’s their fault!
Me: But the conditions are worse than American jails. Can’t we just…
Catholics: NO! Let’s go back to abortion!

It just makes me so sad. This is where we come off as callous. If we’re pro-life, we can’t separate abortion from immigration from welfare from poverty from euthanasia. Life is life.
 
Truthout is a known far Left wing site and blog and also known to be factually challenged from time to time. I wouldn’t take much of what they report that seriously.

Including this report which demonstrates a lack of understanding of the pro life movement.

the use of the death penalty should be rare but it wasn’t forbidden by the church

kids dying anywhere is wrong; but, how do you stop a parent from putting a child in danger? there is a system for immigration, what do you do when people don’t follow the system. change the system to suit the people.

detention centers weren’t meant to hold felons
why not make all crime legal, not just immigration, so we won’t separate families

why is abortion different?
60 million babies have been sacrificed on the altars of this secular world in the name of healthcare
nothing else compares

the sheer numbers separates the issues
 
Quite the opposite and, if even modestly thought through you could figure this out.
I have grave concern for my country and the republic.
This invasion is a complex and well thought out invasion of our sovereignty.
‘Those of you bleeding heart libs who propose open borders deserve the results.
Patriots do not. These “ travelers “ are nothing more than an invasionary force meant to bring down the republic.
I am amazed at the rampant ignorance therein. They have no right to assemble here. We have an obligation to prevent it.
Now…propose an acceptable way to help these people - but you cannot. The only proposal you make is to burden honest, hardworking taxpayers with the additional burden of millions of “asylum seekers”. Balderdash and b.s my good man.
This is neither Catholic nor Christian.
Individuals may elect to help - the government cannot, should not.

It’s really funny - the truth is that this is just another socialist ploy…and this country is too ignorant to stop it.
Now, all you SJW’s continue your whine party…
 
I’m not talking about open borders, just showing some concern. I’m not a liberal either.

Okay then—and I mean this in all seriousness.
It would appear that the conditions in these centers are overcrowded.
What can we do to help?
I mean, like, organize drives for blankets and toiletries, etc?
Ultimately Congress will have to sort this all out because immigration law (like all law) is handled by the legislature.
At the same time, are you aware of any charities to help with the people in the meantime?
I really would be interested in helping.

Items such as this don’t cast the pro-life community in a bad light. They do such a great job of that themselves that it would be difficult to improve on it. Such as these only call attention to it.

This just illustrates that the pro-lifers’ refusal to oppose all anti-life issues alienates very many people of goodwill and power who could at help to alleviate the conditions that encourage abortions, and thus mitigate the evil. Instead pro-lifers must resort to dealing with moral trainwrecks such as Trump in order to get anything done. This drives away more people of good will and causes against Christianity, Catholicism in particular.

Can you dispute the fact that the Catholic Church is the largest NGO charitable organization in the world?
Can you dispute the fact that the CC and the prolife community in general does a huge amount of charitable work for the homeless, the immigrant, the disenfranchised, the dying, and unwanted children?

You know who is taking care of unwanted children in my neighborhood? Christian adoptive couples who are prolife.
Our deacon adopted 3 children. The evangelical Christian families on each side of us adopted 3 and 2.
Our parish has a strong outreach to hispanic immigrants and collects massive amounts of money to help those arrested by immigration authorities.

You are prejudiced and are confusing faith/politics.

There is no scandal. What there is, is an effort by those who like to stir the political pot in this country and mix it with religion.
As Christians we should be concerned about all life and about the plight that people endure all around the world.
This is NOT an us vs. them proposition. It is a we proposition.
First and foremost, everyone should pray for God’s help in delivering all who suffer in this world. 🙏🙏🙏
Second, we should donate money to agencies who are trying to help.
Third, we should write our elected representatives and demand they quite politicizing everything, get off their collectives butts, and do something positive to help. I am tired of the polarizing rhetoric.
God tells us to love and serve one another as brothers and sisters.
