Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts on this subject. Do you mind if I save it?And how is it that an informed catholic has no idea of what is done to help women in this manner?
There are Crisis Pregnancy Centers in every major city … they pay extra for listings in the phone book under the tital Abortion Alternatives so that they are present when a pregnant woman seeks for an aboriton provider … something the abortion providers have attempted to fight [its not informed consent or equal opportunity they seek but the abortion $$'s - big industry] … Crisis pregnancy centers will help women pre and post birth of their child … health care assistance, infant care needs - diapers, furniture, parenting classes, rent assistance, food assistance, keep the child or adoption …
Every state has a Right to Life organization [as well as the National one] … .they provide all manner of assistance - they will will help women pre and post birth of their child … health care assistance, infant care needs - diapers, furniture, parenting classes, rent assistance, food assistance, keep the child or adoption … In addition - they provide education … in fact the Oregon Roght to Life has created and maintained a website that has saved many lives … see here:

I imagine that every state has multiple homes for unwed mothers that help women choose life and give them help before and after the birth of their children … My state of Oregon has several that I am aware of … here is just obe organization that operates three such homes …

My question is … After 30 plus years, multiple ‘catholic’ politicians elected with D afetr their name and huge numbers of pro-life democrats - why is the democratic platform pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-gay marriage … why has your party ignored your positions so completely? …
And I keep hearing that positions held by the republican [in their platform in paricular] and in general are in oposition to our Christian values … but I do not see that …
How is being for business [job creation] equated with being against the worker? Business needs and educated work force … and wanting your business to be profitable does not mean you do not want to pay a fair wage. Employees should want their employer to be profitable - because a business that is profitable will continue to employ them … a bankrupt business will not. Catholic Social teaching supports this - a worker is due a just wage - the business owner is due a just return on his work and his investment in that company
Wanting immigation to be in accordance with the law does not mean you are against immigration. Allowing illegal immigration allows for those same immigrants to be exploited and that exploitation takes on many faces including human trafficing - like sex trades and it helps to keep low wages and unsafe work environments … On the other side of the coin illegal immigration provides avenue for crime perpetrated by the illegals and upon the illegals … and is in harmony with Catholic Social teaching.
No republican, conservative or democrat I know of wants a dirty envirionment. We all have to eat and drink and breath as do our shildren and grandchildren and great grandchilren … however - some of our policies are exporting off shore what we could do here … like not allowing timber to be cut in the US … we import timber from countries that have lesser regulations - which I see as exporting environmental degradation …
So I reject the notion that republicans and conservatives are mean people, who want to destroy the environment and care only about the rich …
I am not rich - never have been - never will be … I want government [at all lvels] to do those things that are proper to their role AND THUS I do not believe that if you want or need to feed or house people in your local community - you can do so better/efficiently by first sending that Dollar to Washington - pass through one or more government agencies - before it returns to your local community - to feed or house the intended recipient … nor can I see how that fact would put me at odds with Catholic Social Teaching …
Suppporting parties and candidates that are pro-Abortion, pro-Euthanasia, pro-Gay Marriage are at odds with Catholic Social Teaching … and abortion is always intrinsically evil - no ifs and or buts … no compromise - always and everywhere a moral evil …
Again, you are sadly mistaken.
The Hyde amendment only applies to appropriations in the bill to which it is attached. I’ve commented on this before. The PPACA appropriates its own funds for CHC’s, and it not subject to the Hyde amendment.
This type of pedantry gets frustrating. Of course Robert didn’t mean never in the literal sense. It is rhetoric. You, like some other posters, have a habit of ignoring the obvious implication and instead drag out a red herring by being so pedantic. Address the point being made instead of a literal reading.
No problem … You may save it, spell check it, grammer check, edit it and add to it - to your heart’s content … Have a great day
This is a great post and deserves being reposted on forums and blogs all over.And how is it that an informed catholic has no idea of what is done to help women in this manner?
