.- A new ad campaign from the group, Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC), has drawn criticism from the Catholic Association for confusing the Catholic position on abortion and attempting to sway voters in the presidential primary elections.
Michael Hernon, president of the Catholic Association stated that “Catholics for a Free Choice will stop at nothing to advance abortion rights. Their latest campaign puts a new spin on their dizzying logic that promoting abortion is somehow ‘Catholic’. Catholics stand for life and will not be confused by the latest attempt of this abortion front group.”
The campaign entitled “Prevention Not Prohibition”, focuses on how policy makers can assist in the prevention of abortion through contraception, healthcare for all, sexual education and access to childcare, according to a CFFC press release.
It is the belief of the CFFC that, “Despite the protestations of a few conservative bishops, there is strong support among Catholics for policies that would reduce the need for abortion. The presidential election is a perfect place for serious candidates to take a stand and state that they too support providing women with real choices when it comes to dealing with an unplanned pregnancy.”
According to the Catholic Association, “the new campaign tries to confuse voters into believing that CFFC wants to ‘reduce the need for abortion’. They are trying to sway Catholics to vote for candidates who support abortion on demand but support other policies that may reduce the need for abortion. Catholics and people of good conscience can not tolerate or cooperate with the evil of abortion. Other policy initiatives do not mitigate a candidate's support for abortion on demand.”
The US Bishops’ Conference has called CFFC "practically speaking, an arm of the abortion lobby in the United States and throughout the world," funded by wealthy private foundations that seek to "promote abortion as a method of population control."
Sick.
In other news, the sun came up today...
Being born Catholic does not mean you are Catholic. If you refuse to abide by... and practice the teachings and tenants of the Church; labeling yourself a Catholic is nothing more than “breaking wind”
Seriously: Tell us what you really think of them ...
;'}
Yer either Catholic or yer ain’t
Accept the doctrine of the Church
or do not call yourself Catholic
Pick one
The Pope has spoken
That should be enough for the Bishop and the Laity
BTW - I am not Catholic, mrely Christion...
CfC are weasel-faced Mengele-kissing babykillers.
You are SO right!!. This group is not Catholic nor should it be associated with the Catholic Church other than to condemn them. Actually they do not need to be condemed by the Church, they do a good enough job themselves.
wolves/sheep.
They are not Catholics and they are not for free choice.
They are Heretics for Baby Murdering.
Yep, and 'Jews for Jesus' are not Jewish.
I met one of them once. She didn't understand a single word of Hebrew. Couldn't pick Jerusalem out of a map.
She was just some huckster hopping from Church to Church collecting 'donations'. Total fraud.
Her shtick had nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity for that matter. It was just about coming up with a confusing name and collecting money from people who go to church.
Where are the Hindus for Mohammed? or Buddaists for Judaism??
The ACLU are totalitarian anarchists/communists and yet they call themselves an American Civil Liberties Union. One, these guys HATE America and Two, these guys HATE civil liberties...the left is very adroit at fooling the masses with 'nice' sounding names.
If I ever found a hate group, I will call it 'People for Petting Pretty Puppies'. It'll look great on the United Way donation roster...hehehe...who wouldn't donate to that???
GOOD things become clearer.
Many christians ,catholic or not,have been turned in bleeding heart crying babies leftist liberals with a steady propaganda.Pacifism,environmentalism,fake feminism,statism,big government,socialism...You shake that and you have Carter or ...Huckabee.
We need some proud and EDUCATED christians aware of History,with a good knowledge about civilizations in order to understand the world we are living in.
As a french-catholic i think that catholics and protestants/evangelists should gather to defend the core values of the “western civilization” attacked from within AND from outside.
BTW some agnostics are also aware of the high price of our “western civilization” including its judeo-christian roots
this time sounds like buffet funding
By definition these creatures are not Catholics. They have no right to call themselves Catholic. If the ratmedia wheren’t the ratmedia it would not keep calling them a Catholic organization. Being a Catholic means you have no “freedom” to murder babies.
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

You're in over your head. Jews for Jesus is a legitimate group of Jews who recognize Jesus as the Messiah. They don't have to speak Hebrew and they don't have to come from Jerusalem.
Someone should tell Mr. O’Brien that the name of his organization should be more truthful: Former Catholics Choosing Condemnation to Hell.
John SKerry .......... Catholic too.......
