First — Kmiec is not a practicing Catholic. He would be a practicing (or non-practicing CINO — Catholic in Name Only.)

** It is precisely to give credence to such claims that they have anointed him the new head of the “moderate” pro-life mainstream.**

Dear MSM-ABCNNBCBS — what is a moderate pro-lifer?

One is either pro-life

or one is pro-death.

No moderate in the equation at all.

It seems to me that legalizing abortion has given it a certain sort of respectability it doesn’t deserve. Those who think about it only superficially will believe that since it’s legal it must not be the hideous evil that it is.

Kmc has probably lived in Malibu too long.

I guess I would consider a rape/incest exception a moderate view, and perhaps life of the mother could be a part of that as well. Of course, that’s when a George Bush-type believes in those exceptions. Many cloak themselves in them when they are really completely pro-death.

The media, on the other hand, would consider Clinton’s “safe, legal and rare” to be a moderate view, no doubt.

Hitting the nail on the head there.

People get arrested and thrown in jail for killing an animal — dog, cat, whatever. But killing babies is OK????

NOT!

How does that bumper sticker go? Something like:

Be a hero, save a whale,
Save a baby, go to jail.

Kmiec sold his soul. It was suggested here on FR that a judgeship in the obama administration will be the payment. If that happens then we will know.

Doug Kmiec’s Departure from the Pro-life Movement

In order for him to undergo a "departure" from the Pro-Life Movement, he would have had to have actually been with the Pro-Life Movement at some time in the past. Can anyone verify that that is the case?

King Solomon was not a moderate. One of the mothers was ‘moderate’ — the one of the dead baby, who wanted the other mother’s live son either as her perjured kidnapped servant, or dead.

Mothers who kill their babies (like that Anthony girl in Florida) are criminals, but Doctors, Nurses and Mothers who kill unborn babies suffer no punishment. They Must be Punished as Criminals and Murderers. That’s the Only Way to end abortion.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The FOUNDERS thought the Right to LIFE was so important that they not only included it in the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence, that they made it the very FIRST UNALIENABLE RIGHT listed therein. Either you support LIFE or you accept murder... it really is that simple. Abortion IS murder... do you accept murder???

No, the press uses him as ‘The Mainstream Catholic’; That along with that huge (just don’t think about how they got it number or if it’s true), percentage of the Catholic Vote Baal Jr. got.

Wow, if he finally mentioned Crisis Pregnancy Centers, he’s really scrambling for cover. I also like his use of choice twice. Notice how he focused on helping pregnant women (which we do anyway), and not those who abort. He didn’t even mention mental help for them afterwards and why the industry isn’t regulated or patients followed up on.

He is obstinate, all that think he’s still receiving raise your hand. I issue the fatwa... can I get a second?

I’m searching for a potato sack and ashes to send him.
(If Jerome was around he’d have to stand outside the church for at least a year in it before he could go to Mass... oh, the good old days)

I wonder if the creche will affect him or the readings of Advent/the Gospel at Christmas Mass...

I would love to hear Kmiec’s legal arguments on Judgement Day. Somehow, I don’t think the Supreme Judge of us all is interested in penumbras and nuances.

Oh, by the way...I’m a MODERATE murderer. I’m only a MODERATE supporter of murder. I only support adultery in a MODERATE way. I only MODERATELY support stealing. I only lust after my neigbor’s wife MODERATELY.

I think there’s a place in Dante’s inferno for MODERATES.
