President Bush Files for Divorce with Catholic Base
Catholic Pro-Life Leader states: President Bushs implied support for the abortion-causing drug Plan B is completely inconsistent with his recent veto of the embryonic stem cell research funding bill
FRONT ROYAL, Va., Aug. 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, issued the following response to President George W. Bushs statements today regarding his support for Andrew von Eschenbach and his recent decision to seek over-the-counter (OTC) status for the abortifacient drug Plan B. When asked by reporter Bill Sammon about the situation, Bush stated: I believe that Plan B ought to be -- ought to require a prescription for minors, is what I believe. And I support Andy's decision.
President Bushs implied support for the abortion-causing drug Plan B is completely inconsistent with his recent veto of the embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) funding bill. What the president apparently fails to realize is that Plan B kills the same innocent unborn children that the ESCR process does.
The president must demonstrate a consistent respect for the sanctity of all human life or he risks provoking a great divorce with the conservative Catholics that compromise a large part of his support base. Human beings in the embryonic stage of development deserve equal protection under the law and the presidents position falls far short of that mark.
I reiterate my call for President Bush to withdraw his nomination of Andrew von Eschenbach for FDA commissioner and I implore him to rethink his own reckless approach to the powerful abortion-causing Plan B drug regimen.
The Bible, as it exists today, is a "tradition" of sorts. The Church excluded other "scripture" that was circulating during the early centuries of Christianity from the canon.
Please answer my post 59
What are you referring to specifically?
An example of a tradition that you claim is not in the Bible that you follow and is divinely inspired.
I did. I gave you an example. If another is necessary, it is quite apparent (given even some of my discussions here on FR) that some believe that the belief that Jesus is God is not Scripturally-supported. The tradition that Jesus is fully God and fully man is an apostolic tradition.
No, I was responding to your #60.
You should be aware: this one likes to move the goalposts and then pretend to be pro-life...in addition to hate for all things Catholic.
" ... that some believe that the belief that Jesus is God is not Scripturally-supported. The tradition that Jesus is fully God and fully man is an apostolic tradition."
John 5:18
"You should be aware: this one likes to move the goalposts and then pretend to be pro-life...in addition to hate for all things Catholic."
That is slander.
The problem is that if Plan B is disallowed because it may prevent fertilization (which seems unclear at this point) then the birth control pill argument is moot.
Birth control pills will NEVER be outlawed in this country. NEVER. The portion of the population who wants birth control pills outlawed is tiny. Aside from this board, I have never heard of anyone agreeing with those who want birth control pills outlawed. If it is mentioned, it is to exclaim over the craziness of those wishing it.
Pushing for making BCP illegal would outrage a LARGE segment of people we need to vote with us.
" ... and then pretend to be pro-life...in addition to hate for all things Catholic..."
You've been admonished by the religion moderator before for making personal attacks against me. This is just another personal attack.
As I said earlier, there's a definite Culture of Death fifth column on FR, and they're just as dangerous as the pro-Islamic fifth column.
On whom?
Amen brother!
Shall I ping them?
Petronski's comment was in response to me, not to you. I don't know what beef you two had on another thread, but it may have caused some sensitivity on your part towards his posts.
That's right it was and Petronski was referring to me.
You will do what you will do. I'm not sure (a) who you allege has been slandered, and more importantly, (b) how someone would accomplish "slander" using the written word.
