Washington (CNSNews.com) – Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), a professed Roman Catholic, told CNSNews.com Wednesday that federal funding of health plans that cover elective abortions is “not a question of morality” but “a matter of health -- public health.”

“Obviously there’s going to be some legal decisions that are going to be coming forward, I’m sure, that are going to adjudicate this,” Kennedy said at the Capitol. “But obviously, we’ve got to protect women’s health. Half of our population are women, and -- this is a matter of public health.

He added: “It’s not a question of morality or anything; it’s a matter of health -- public health. Our mothers, our sisters, our spouses, I mean, this is a simple issue. It’s not making any judgment on people. It’s just a matter of providing -- making sure that they’re safe. And there’s only one way to make sure they’re safe, and that’s making sure that it’s legal.”

“Not a Question of Morality”

Of course it’s not a question of morality when you’re a communist who believes humans are meat.

The unborn in the USA have the same status as the Untermenschen — the “subhumans,” including the Jews-— in National Socialist Germany.

The killing is presented in sanitized, even therapeutic terms: a matter of eliminating parasites. “Reproductive health.” “Racial hygiene.”

The prelimianry requirement for the “Final Solution” is “Official Dehumanization”: you have to make it clear that these “others” are without human rights, human dignity, or even human identity. They are not members of the Human Family. They are for us to dispose of as we will: fit for the crematorium and the landfill.

Its a question of a death industry.The amount of money made and exchanged is criminal.Abortion is ruinous to our society.The abortion activists have destroyed our church.More than half voted for BHO and call them selves pro choice Catholic. Catholic sex scandals are top headlines again and bigotry is rampant.
