EDITORIAL: Governor Kaine, On Abortion 'A Crime Can Never Be Turned into a Right!'
Catholic Online ^ | 8/22/08 | Deacon Keith Fournier

Posted on 08/21/2008 5:14:37 PM PDT by tcg

Governor Tim Kaine is not like Kansas Governor Katherine Sebellius, an openly dissident Catholic also rumored as being considered by Senator Obama. During her campaign for Governor she counted among her supporters notorious late term abortionist George Tiller! Her public support of unrestricted abortion as a “right” has properly earned her the public ecclesial reprimand of her Bishop.

No, Governor Tim Kaine takes the ‘Mario Cuomo’ doublespeak approach (personally opposed but…) to abortion, but without the abrasive New York manner and with a unique use of the popular term “faith based”. He says he has a “faith based opposition” to the taking of innocent human lives in the first home of the whole human race. However, he has made it very clear in his governing that will not support legal efforts to stop the killing. He says wants to reduce the number of children killed by having less born.

Without the right to life there are no other rights and the entire infrastructure of rights is thrown into jeopardy. Rights become the exclusive province of the more powerful who can make the so called “choice” to take your life. If we do not hear the cry of those whom Mother Teresa rightly called “the poorest of the poor”, those in the womb who have no voice but ours, then our claims of concern for the poor and our claim of compassion for them are selective. We will care about only those poor whom we find to be convenient.We will select who is our neighbor.

It is NEVER compassionate to fail to hear the cry of the poorest of the poor,those who have no voice of their own. It never serves the common good to legalize the taking of innocent human life. A Crime can never be turned into a Right.

She doesn’t just “count Tiller among her supporters”. He was the main supporter and all his methods of getting money to her made her completely beholden to Tiller. She devoted her time as governor to protecting Tiller, in every way in her power, from any type of oversight. Kansas is the partial birth abortion capitol of the U.S. And it’s all thanks to Kathleen Sebelius. How Obama plans to sync that with his own sickening record will be interesting to watch.

There are many in Kansas that have sold their souls, am I wonder if I’m even speaking figuratively.

The KC Star, the Johnson County republicans, etc.

One man sought to hold the abortionists accountable to the law as written, to protect underage rape victims, and to stop illegal late term abortions.

The governor, the press, etc, did everything possible to destroy that man.

'A Crime Can Never Be Turned into a Right!'

Offered only as a point of logic and with no attempt to detract from his fine message, it was once a crime for a woman to vote, now it's a right.
