"NCR printed a column in which columnist Bill Tammeus (who, oddly enough, isn’t Catholic, but a Presbyterian elder)"

So why is a Presbyterian writing in a Catholic newspaper?

I thought we still were a “bundle of cells”; just a lot more of them...

Referring to a yet to be born child as a “bundle of cells” sounds like an excuse to ease the consience of pro-abortion supporters like that idiot.

Presbyterian Church (USA). Presbyterian in church governance only.

That being said, it seems like just a couple weeks ago Catholics were high fiving each other over closer relations with apostate, liberal denominations.

"After all, says, Bill Tammeus, “in the matter of abortion, we have a bundle of cells that one day may be born.”

This is the same mindset that rationalized slavery because Africans weren't really human and also excused the holocaust because Jews were subhuman. Once one presumes to define any type of human life as somehow less than human or only "a bundle of cells" then they have entered the deepest heart of darkness.

Because this fishwrap isn't Catholic and has been told to cease and desist from continuing to lie by presenting itself as 'Catholic'.

Bill Tammeus and the National Catholic Reporter are anti-Science: Conception to Birth: Visualized

We have a bundle of nuts in DC. They love killing and getting even with the other side whether it is Jane Hanoi Fonda shooting at an American aircraft in North Viet Nam or Kerry dissing our troops for decades. Dirty Hairy Reed loves to lie about anything that is not democRat.

“That’s a pretty organized clump of cells!”

Of course they are ‘organized’, look who formed them! Isaiah 44:2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb….

According to this loon, a mass murderer has “mis-spent” his life.

Mr. Tammeus is nothing but "a bundle of cells" as well.

Bill Tammeus!

That jerk used to be an editorial writer for the Kansas City (Red) star!

What an idiot and how in the world did that incompetent small mass of grey matter end up employed at the Catholic Reporter?

Just for the record, Bill was always on the far left-wing of the Presbyterian Church, at best.

His "opinions" are best suited for Mother Jones or some other spot, way, way left of NPR.

Just shows you how the camel behaves when he gets his nose in your tent!

Yet, I’ll bet Tammeus, like other liberals, would leap for joy at the first sign of a discover of the smallest living microorganism on Mars, calling it a “discovery of life.”

Yet an unborn baby is but a bundle of cells...

Tammaus will find that he is “just a bundle of cells” when ObamaCare deems him too expensive to treat in his old age. The utilitarian view of human life cheapens life and makes it disposable.

National Catholic Reporter is LEFT-WING publication.

National Catholic Register, owned by EWTN, is a conservative
publication that promotes the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

It must have been preordained.

That’s exactly what the raging man-hating feminazis call us after conception. That paper doesn’t deserve the name Catholic.

From the text of the article:

On the other hand, every single unborn child killed through abortion was completely innocent.

Not "completely." The correct substitute would be "as yet."

All, by Adam's error, are infected with the absolutely predetermined nature of erring from God's commands, placing them under condemnation to die; that is, they all, save one, have an original sinful nature, inescapably entwined in their DNA/mitochondria.

Consider this:

That statistically, among fifty million aborted unborn children, surely more than 1,324 more murderers (worthy as adults of execution before their time) will not have seen daylight.

But we do not know which of those murderous adults abortion will have anticipated.

Regardless, all (including the one perfect individual) will be born with the sentence of death certainly in the offing.

Let us think on that for a while.

And why are "Catholics" accrediting him as a Presbyterian? To inherently besmirch Protestantism with his claim to be of them? With this viewpoint, he is an unbeliever of the first water.

You could also ask why a “Catholic” newspaper printed the article.
