In the Holiness of Truth
Catholic New York ^ | October 23, 2008 | Edward Cardinal Egan

Just Look

The picture on this page is an untouched photograph of a being that has been within its mother for 20 weeks. Please do me the favor of looking at it carefully. photo

Have you any doubt that it is a human being?

If you do not have any such doubt, have you any doubt that it is an innocent human being?

If you have no doubt about this either, have you any doubt that the authorities in a civilized society are duty-bound to protect this innocent human being if anyone were to wish to kill it?

If your answer to this last query is negative, that is, if you have no doubt that the authorities in a civilized society would be duty-bound to protect this innocent human being if someone were to wish to kill it, I would suggest—even insist—that there is not a lot more to be said about the issue of abortion in our society. It is wrong, and it cannot—must not—be tolerated.

One of my friends was just showing off her "first pictures" of her baby ... prints from a high resolution ultrasound.

He's a baby. He's not anything but a baby.

0bama supporters need to look at the picture. It ain't rocket science.

Have you forgotten that Nancy Pelosi in her comments regarding when life begins said that it does not matter and should not impact a “woman’s right to choose”. They know, they do not care.

Yeah, and the Big Zero said it was "above [his] paygrade".

These folks are evil. Pray that they receive the Grace of repentance and conversion. Before it's too late.

Millions of people, voters, simply don't know any better. All they've ever heard is abortionist propaganda from Planned Parenthood, public schools, democRat party, and their lackeys in the media. They may respond to the truth.

Rick Warren asked Zero when a BABY receives human rights. Barack Obama has a work history of removing human rights from born alive and completely separated from the mtoher’s body INFANTS, so he couldn’t truthfully answer Rick’s question as asked. It is obviously not something he thinks is above his pay grade to remove HUMAN RIGHTS from born alive struggling to breathe human INFANTS. He worked hard to protect the infanticide being practiced in abortuaries of Illinois using an abortion method called induced labor abortion where the alive child is murdered via purposed neglect so they eventually suffocate to death completely separated from the mopther’s body. THIS IS NOT ABORTION though Obama tried to characterize it as such in the Illinois legislature. THIS IS INFANTICIDE and Obama thought his protecting this evil was within his pay grade.

Right ... he’s worse than an abortionist. He advocates “exposure”, as well. He wishes to revive one of the more repugnant practices of ancient paganism.

I do pray for those who are engaged in the evil of abortion. I am part of a prayer group who prays every week in front of an abortion clinic.

Our very first prayer is that the Holy Trinity will soften the hearts and enlighten the minds of those who refuse to see the humanity of the unborn.

I believe those prayers are being heard. The subject of abortion is stronger and clearer each election cycle. I pray God will not allow 35 years of toil be for naught with the election of pro-abortion, pro-infanticide Obama.
