WASHINGTON DC, USA, December 2 (CNA) - A pro-life group has called it "a scandal" that a woman who claims to have been raised a Catholic has taken the helm of the country's largest pro-abortion organization.
The American Life League is dismayed by the recent appointment of Nancy Keenan as president of NARAL.
"For a woman who was taught to respect all innocent human beings, it is a scandal that Ms. Keenan has agreed to lead such an anti-life, anti-Catholic organization," said the American Life League in a statement.
"The Catholic Church does not waver in its teaching that the act of abortion is gravely evil in every circumstance, and Ms. Keenan has made it perfectly clear that she believes the Church is wrong," continued the statement.
The American Life League pointed out that NARAL's news release, announcing Keenan's appointment, praised Keenan's unwavering pro-abortion position during a public effort to excommunicate her from the Catholic Church a few years ago.
The league said it would ask Keenan's bishop, Bishop Paul S. Loverde of Arlington, Va., "to clarify her current status with the Catholic Church," given that "Catholic teaching sends a clear message: you cannot be both Catholic and pro-abortion."
"We want to be assured that Ms. Keenan is not using her 'Catholic identity' to further denigrate Christ and His Church," it said.
Pleeeease.....someone deny her communion for crying out loud. Grow a spine!
Another sKerry CINO is outted.
This just shows how bad the pro-aborts are losing the culture war. They are desperate to hide under the mask of religion so that don't reveal what abortion really is (MURDER).
I think this is good news for our side and it shows we are winning the war. We need to continue to fight until abortion is ended in this country.

Given the situation over the past 40 years, I'm not so sure that she was taught anything along those lines as a Catholic. ALL should know better than that.

Gut check time for Bp. Loverde ...
Seconded!
She begs to be excommunicated.
Let's see what the Church will do.
To John Kerry and Nancy Keenan, I now pronounce you husband and wife!
The league said it would ask Keenan's bishop, Bishop Paul S. Loverde of Arlington, Va., "to clarify her current status with the Catholic Church," given that "Catholic teaching sends a clear message: you cannot be both Catholic and pro-abortion."Yes, let's make these snakes show their heads!
Don't count on the Council of Bishops to do anything about this.
Notice how ALL the communists bastards are now using the name "Catholic" (just like Antonio Gramsci instructed) to debase, demoralize and destroy religion and our moral life.
These scumbag lawyer communists are not Catholics - They are just the spawn of islam hell.
Baptised, or Confirmed? There is a difference, you know. Still, it is a scandal.
Catholic or not you don't need to be taught that abortion is taking human life
Logic is all you need
I don't see how anybody can deny it PERIOD
They can use any argument they want to justify it ( which I don't agree with ) but DON'T tell me it is not human life that insults my intelligence
What a sad day indeed when the ALL has to ask the Bishops about this spawns status in the Church. Don't everyone hold you breath waiting for an answer.
It's all about the benjamins.
