My fellow Christians, there is one candidate and one political party that unconditionally supports the slaughtering of innocent children. If you don’t know which candidate or party that is, you are vincibly ignorant and shouldn’t vote.
Only one candidate has been unequivocally endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of abortions and perhaps one of the most powerful political lobbying machines in the world.
According to the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops), our consciences should be formed enough to recognize that there can be legitimate debate among Catholics on issues like how to help the poor, what to do about immigration, how to advance national and international peace, etc. People of good will can and ought to have spirited debate over HOW to accomplish these goods.
But our consciences should also be formed enough to recognize that there can be no debate on whether or not human life is worthy of protection. This is the first right, the fundamental right. Without it, do other rights really exist at all?
I know that the Facebook trolls, many Catholics, will continue to excoriate me for sending pro-life editorials, sometimes along with political satire.
As St. Mother Teresa said: “Do it anyway.” So I did, and will continue to do so.
