This is suppose to be a Catholic school? They say the class is about reproductive rights? That is obvious code language for promoting abortion.

This is suppose to be a Catholic school? They say the class is about reproductive rights? That is obvious code language for promoting abortion.

I heard this woman interviewed last weekend. She was claiming that "many Catholics believe in choice" and said that she points out to her students that the reason the Catholic church is against so many forms of contraceptives is that they are actually early-acting abortifacients. (In other words, she tries to make her students think that there is no difference between taking the pill and having an abortion; that kind of tactic has been used by Planned Parenthood since the 70's as part of their pro-abortion propaganda.)

Most of what she said about this topic and about the Iraq war were typical liberal muddy utterances. Not a single thing she said was anything that a logical person would conclude upon reflection of the facts. The host (I don't know who he was) asked some pretty pointed questions, which she sidestepped by uttering more liberal mush. She became pretty defensive, a sure sign that she is perfectly aware that her position is not supportable by facts or logic.
