Pelosi is not the only one.
Is there a mother on FR who would not surrender her own life for that of any of her children? Who would not risk her own life for that of any of her children?
I do not understand this. The statement by the hospital that the family, the parents, the doctors and the so-called ethical committee all concurred that the child had to die is just completely outside my understanding. Surely every woman knows, the moment she learns she is pregnant, that the child’s welfare will forever come before her own.
“If a Catholic formally cooperates in the procurement of an abortion, they are automatically excommunicated by that action. “Pelosi?
Pelosi very definitely should be excommunicated. She advocates abortion and considering her political influence on others, that the Catholic Church she belongs to does NOT excommunicate her is despicable and shows a blatant disregard for Church doctrine.
Phoenix Catholic hospital defends abortion that took place there - bishop warns of excommunication
Snip: Every Catholic institution is obliged to defend human life at all its stages; from conception to natural death. This obligation is also placed upon every Catholic individual. If a Catholic formally cooperates in the procurement of an abortion, they are automatically excommunicated by that action. The Catholic Church will continue to defend life and proclaim the evil of abortion without compromise, and must act to correct even her own members if they fail in this duty.
Speaker Pelosi's progressive Catholicism and the antidote
Snips: Search as I did to find a united statement of condemnation from the shepherds of the Catholics of this country, there was nothing to be found. One has to wonder what could possibly be so intimidating about the woman that the bishops would merely move on with their agenda without taking note of this remarkable redefining of Catholic identity by a public figure who, as far as we can tell, is still claiming to be Catholic.
It was clearly a crowning achievement in Pelosi's campaign to deconstruct the teachings of the Catholic Church — making it a good thing to kill babies and a bad thing to defend Christ in the Holy Eucharist — and she pulled it off without a single reprimand or announcement of excommunication from her beloved bishops. What a travesty.
Where was your conviction that we must respect the dignity and worth of the individual when you insisted, "To me it isn't even a question [of being a faithful Catholic while being pro-abortion]. God has given us free will. We're all responsible for our actions. If you don't want an abortion, you don't believe in it, then don't have one. But don't tell somebody else what they can do in terms of honoring their responsibilities."
