But, I see it being done as a way of strengthening abortion as a policy...as in, before 20 weeks it is ok to commit murder. I don't think it helps. 20 weeks is five months, for God's sake. Some babies are viable in premie ICU nurseries not long after that. No, just another rationalization for abortion.<br /><br />Tangentially, I think we would do better to have an enforced six month waiting period for a marriage license and an enforced six month waiting period for a divorce. This would, hopefully, encourage both forethought and re-consideration.

In other words, passing it would imply it is OK for abortion before that time? I doubt that was the mindset of the legislator in questions, as finding Democrats willing to restrict abortion even to a small degree is, these days, like trying to save snowballs in July.....<br /><br />I would not have an issue supporting 20 weeks if it is the best one can get at the moment, trying to minimize the damage so to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-4628166976642585392017-03-16T09:25:10.195-04:002017-03-16T09:25:10.195-04:00I second the outrage on behalf of Fr.

You can disagree with him and his assessments on any number of issues, but unless you have evidence of him counseling people towards abortion or direct evidence of him not making it a big deal, you owe him an apology.<br /><br />I've made no secret of disagreeing with him on any number of things but most (if not all) are over prudential decisions. I've never read any post of his that strikes me as heresy or immorality. We do others and ourselves an injustice in roasting their names by reducing their positions to a caricature. If he's wrong about something, a direct quote is better than any paraphrase.<br /><br />Jusadbellumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-30402099354291692382017-03-16T06:33:23.662-04:002017-03-16T06:33:23.662-04:00How long before Francis, after being informed that...How long before Francis, after being informed that the bishops upheld the moral teaching of the Church, attacks and condemns the bishops. I bet by summer we will have a Vatican investigation into the bishops conference of New Mexico. Does anyone doubt that IS going to happen.

The Canadian Bishops also lowered the boom on Trudeau in Canada for funding abortions outside the Country which Trudeau, another fake catholic, decided to pursue after our first "Catholic" President, Donald Trump, stopped the US funding of abortions overseas. By the way, did the USCCB congratulate Trump for his pro-life efforts , or are congratulations only for politicians who operate contrary to Church teaching?
