Fr. Z, at his blog WDTPRS, calls his readers’ attention to a great column by Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, RI. To summarize, the good bishop points out that Pres. Obama’s speech after the shootings in Tucson was moving, but inconsistent with the President’s own policies. Obama rightly laments the death of an innocent child, and yet promotes abortion, which kills millions of innocent children… But, read the article. Bishop Tobin says it better and more eloquently than I can.
We need to pray that President Obama may come to recognize his misjudgment regarding abortion and change his policies to defend every life, from conception until natural death.
200 years ago people thought that Black people were not human. Hopefully in 200 years people will realise that just because a child is not born yet does not mean they are not human. As a parent myself we saw and loved our children since they were conceived. We even named them at 3 months as soon as we could see the scans.
