Maybe the girl with the dreams of being a journalist should’ve kept her legs shut? She certainly shouldn’t compound the evil by murdering her child. This is rational to you? Why stop there? Why not use evil and murder in other arena’s to accomplish your dreams? Heck rob banks for money to build your dream home, murder your competition at work for that promotion.Then you take the dreams. Let’s say a young woman wants to be a journalist (which usually now requires a degree) and bears a child in college and therefore doesn’t finish (some do finish while having children and kudos to them), her dream of being a journalist is unfulfilled before she’s ever really tried it. Not only that, she may already be on the hook for student loans that she’ll have a hard time paying back with the job set she’s likely to be qualified for. Now, I’m not saying that her life won’t be unfulfilling all together. Maybe she’ll pursue other dreams. But I would be lying if I said that untimely pregnancies don’t complicate women’s lives.

And if a person who got drunk and abused their parents and or beat their wives publicly announced that such actions were not only OK but should be protected by the law I would hope that they would not only be denied communion but also Catholics would not consider voting for them if they ran for office.Same with getting drunk or abusing our parents or coveting or beating our wives. The Church forbids those actions and by doing them we are no longer in full communion and so commit a grave sin.
I have been involved in the pro-life movement for going on 30 years and thought I had heard just about everythng but this rationalization takes the cake. The mental mastrubation one must got through to justify voting for the abortionists is a terrible thing to behold.Not murdered…Simply not offered the hospitality of thier mothers womb? Oh man how people can rationalize evil these days is amazing. It’s good of you to at least be against murdering 8 and 9 month old babies, since the only thing stopping them from being a “living child” in societies eyes is a few inches of uteran tissue. Absolutely outrageous!
At least on Sundays, we do recite the Nicene Creed before we receive Communion. If you reject anything in the creed you are not in full communion with the Catholic Church and should not present yourself for communion. That has been the case before the creed was written or even the gospels were written. It goes back to First Corinthians.Why Abortion and Homosexuality? Why not every other catholic doctrine too? In fact, I think we should have Catholics fill out questionares before communion, to be turned into the Eucharistic Minister before recieving. If they don’t agree on everything the Church teaches, they are to go back to their seat. Everything from the Divinity of Christ to the Immaculate Conception of Mary to the Immorality of Abortion and Homosexuality to Papal Infallibility to the reality of Purgatory.
If a Catholic doesn’t agree with the whole of Catholicism, they are cafeteria Catholics, right? Time to close the buffet!
