No going backwards on abortion rights !

Perhaps the most powerful religious institution hostile to legalized

    abortion is the Catholic Church - now lacking all the moral authority of

    the not too distant past. Remember when even non-Catholic politicians

    dreaded the wrath of a cardinal, a prince of THE CHURCH ? In Boston

    HIS HOLINESS could make or break political careers.

           A nominal Catholic myself - who expects all hell to break loose

    when the present pope dies - I still find it nauseating to listen to

    the usual -extremely unctuous -anti-abortion sermons on Catholic TV

    while glancing at the lurid headlines of the heathen newspaper on my

    lap. Can abortion possibly be more sinful than THIS : the sexual abuse

    of innocent children by HIS priests - and so many of them  ?

             Anyway - thank God ! - we still have separation of church and

    state in this country. And that is very good thing. Not every sin

    can be judged also a crime against society. Judging by our health care

    system , we can only conclude that the RIGHT TO LIFE is dubious outside

    the womb.

           The type of pro-life Catholics who haunt women's clinics are

    clearly rather unbalanced individuals. You would not want them to

    babysit for you- if you have kids.

          At the moment of conception what we see is a LIVING BLUEPRINT

    of a human being -worthy of profound respect but definitely not the

    business of " POLICE... HOMICIDE "  .

             Nature has programmed human females to love their newly born

    babies. But a LOVE for fertilized eggs cells, for a mere fetus is

    the product of a fanatical moral imagination. It is a very institutionalized

    emotion. A product of religious FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS.

                      And God is not a Republican ! And this right to

    life is more often than not - a right to a hell of a life !

              I think we can celebrate Roe vs. Wade 30 years later.
