"One of the most brutally honest examinations of Abortion and the Catholic Factor I've ever seen anuywhere!"

Yes indeed, and I believe on the mark.

IMO--what makes it worse is that abortion was “legalized” in the Soviet Union in 1920. China followed suit about a decade later. Great Britain “legalized” the murder of children waiting to be born in 1954. Nineteen short years later, our own Supreme Court decided that it is “legal” for a woman to hire her “doctor” to destroy her own unborn child.

The Vatican was fully aware of what was spreading throughout the world, and had 50+ years of advanced warnings leading up to Roe v Wade.

The obvious fact that the heretics were allowed to continue unchecked can only be the fault of the hierarchy. The apostates should have been removed long before they reached levels of influence. Spineless bishops who are more politician than shepherd simply did not do the right thing--bishops who can easily see the cause and effect of allowing a true and obvious cancer to spread unhindered. Even to this very day they do NOTHING but pay faint lip service.

The bishops have their fair share to be held accountable for. "Catholic liberalism" is also the fault of many lay people. All those Kennedy types and their worshippers. The enslavement of vast sections of the Catholic population to the Democratic Party is also the result of machinations by anti-Catholic forces. Now, long after the Dems embraced the culture of death, there are still idiotic morons calling themselves "Catholic" while supporting a political ideology and a demonic organization (the Democratic Party) which aspires to make all of us slaves to the culture of death. This is CLEARLY immoral and in grave conflict with being "Catholic." It is worse than the Nazis because it parades around in the guise of being fair and working for "social justice" and equality. It is Nazis in bluejeans.

Great Britain “legalized” the murder of children waiting to be born in 1954.

It was 1967, and most importantly was a specific legislative act, rather than a court's judgement. During the 1960s our legislators had a collective fit of insanity during which they legalised abortion, made divorce easier, and ended the death penalty; this could be changed by Act of Parliament (though most unlikely whilst the Labour Party is in power), whereas Roe vs. Wade establishes a 'right' which cannot be overturned by legislation. Also, importantly, technically abortion is permitted only in cases where continuing the pregnancy would have severe detrimental effects on the mother's physical or mental health, or in cases of severe disability of the child; many doctors treat this as abortion on demand, but that is not the legal issue (there is a case before the High Court at present relating to abortion based on a cleft-palate). Also, abortion is normally legal only in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy.

We are certainly very far from perfect, and there is much work to be done here; but there are several aspects of British abortion law which are far preferable to U.S.
