Catholic Nun Applauds Activist Who Bragged About Her Abortion at Democrat Convention
LifeSite News ^ | 8/4/17 | Steven Ertelt

A Catholic nun is praising NARAL president Ilyse Hogue, who spoke to the Democratic national convention and bragged about the abortion she had. Hogue claims the abortion was the “best decision” for her — ignoring whether it was int he best interests of her unborn child to take his or her life. Hogue eventually called the decision a “compassionate” one.

She said:

To succeed in life, all we need are the tools, the trust, and the chance to chart our own path. I was fortunate enough to have these things when I found out I was pregnant years ago. I wanted a family, but it was the wrong time. I made the decision that was best for me – to have an abortion – and was able to get compassionate care at a clinic in my own community. Now, years later, my husband and I are parents to two incredible children.

My story is not unique. About one in three American women have abortions by the age of 45, and the majority are mothers just trying to take care of the families they already have. You see, it’s not as simple as bad girls get abortions and good girls have families. We are the same women at different times in our lives – each making decisions that are the best for us.

Now, Sister Simone Campbell has given an interview in which she praises Hogue.

“I think what was touching and compelling was her speaking of her reality,” Sister Simone Campbell told the “Democracy Now!” program, “and saying that it is not, you know, the bad girls. It’s all women that have this struggle.”

“I don’t think it’s a good policy to outlaw abortion. Rather, let’s focus on economic development for women,” Campbell added, and made the false claim........

And yet, she’ll remain a nun - in good standing.

The Catholic Church, just as the GOP, needs to be purged of quislings.

someone once told me that between 33-50% of all nuns were homosexual, doesn’t seem so far fatched as it was when they first told me that...

Hey Sister Simone Campbell — You skipped commandments day didn’t you?

Had you been in class that day in the convent you would have heard them cover that one, something about “not killing” pretty sure it most definitely applies to THE most vulnerable, the unborn, but hey, I’m no nun so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

I'd say the No. 1 characteristic of these nuns is communism. My aunt was a nun....and an avowed communist.

My dad...who never talked about anyone....when she left the room said..."Tell her to get a job....

After that, I'd say most are man haters.

The problem for the Church is it would have to start off by dumping Red Francis.
