So....slaughter lovable cuddly babies by grinding them into hamburger meat is a sign of advancement and human achievement?

Love - bad

Abortion - Good

Just so I get that straight...

Call me a caveman.

Thank you, oh high and mighty organ of the commie UM School of Journalism, for telling us that most religions favor abortion. Well then, don’t mind me telling you that we are not most religions. We are the one true religion and will fight the scourge of abortion until our last breath! So put that in your sacred womb vacuum and suck on it!

[Antoninus]

I love it when truly wicked people tell me my religion is wrong. Few things are more affirming of my Faith.

[TradicalRC]

A primitive pro-life faith versus a secular human-sacrificing barbarism. Hmmmm...which one should I go with here?

>> “the idea such tissue is a person is an issue of Catholic superstition and not biological fact”

A person is defined to be a living human being. Maybe the bozo can inform us exactly at which point the fetal tissue transforms into a human.

This is nothing but Catholic bashing and the fool should test his courage on other religions that will not tolerate his aggression.

John Higdon is not listed on the current Faculty directory for the University of Missouri Medical School, Department of Psychology: http://www.umcpsychiatry.com/facultyphone.php

I suppose he has moved on. A search of the Main University of Missouri Faculty directory likewise yielded no matching name either.

As information...

the nine-justice U.S. Supreme Court would have to rewrite constitutional law - which would be unprecedented.

its been done before bucko!

They do it with increasing frequency, nothing like entropy in government...

Thank you for this post, best one yet. Oh yes, The Catholic Church will soldier on, and this lonely man will be forgotten.

My first instinct is to be angry, but truly, we all should pray for people like this. He’s obviously unhappy now, being the God hater he is, but, unimaginable grief awaits I’m afraid. Forever is a HELL of a long time, my friends.

Yeah. That's why Dred Scott is still operative and the schools in Little Rock are seperate but equal.

the idea such tissue is a person is an issue of Catholic superstition and not biological fact.

A couple of thoughts: Firstly, can "personhood" itself even fall under the rubric of "biological fact"? "personhood" is a legal definition, not a biological one.

Secondly, granting for the sake of argument that "personhood" could be considered a biological fact, could it also be said that "the idea such tissue is not a person is an issue of secularist superstition and not biological fact."

We've got to do a better job throwing their mud back into their own faces. Their belief system is every bit as much built on faith as the Christian's. Their belief is simply in the ultimace of axiomatic reality itself, whereas the Christian provides a rational basis for that reality (i.e. a God who created for a purpose).
