The effect of removing the Stupak amendment would be to remove protections given to our youngest neighbors, children in the womb, against being killed by voluntary abortions paid for with tax dollars.

The author says... “Legal” abortion is a new form of slavery. It empowers one group of human persons to treat another group of human persons as property by denying them their fundamental human rights. Both slavery and abortion are rightly called in Catholic teaching “intrinsically evil”. They are a violation of the Natural Law written on every human heart. They must never be protected by the positive law as the subject of a human “choice” in any truly just society. Unfortunately, Chris Matthews did not make that point....

Chris Matthews doesn't want to make that point, otherwise it would put him in a very unattractive position.

I haven't watched Matthews in a decade, is he yet another of the “Personally opposed, BUT...” types?

The Stupak Amendment is a big, fat, giant, stinking RED HERRING!

The Obamacare bill IS an attack on human life. It IS the threat to our freedom. In fact, it is merely a PART of the NEW CONSTITUTION of a Soviet States of America.

I wish all my fellow Catholics and fellow pro-lifers would quit wasting energy, money, time, and words discussing the stupid Stupak Amendment.

And it will be deleted from the bill the moment the fight is over!

AAAAauuuugngh!!!!

“Chris Matthews, who is a practicing Catholic, because he has failed to defend the fundamental human right to life”

Chris Matthews is NOT a *practicing* Catholic if he does not defend the fundamental human right to life!!!!

Abortion kills the very people who need Social Justice.

A person CANNOT be committed to the God of the Old and New Testaments and be pro-abortion or anti-life. A person can SAY he/she is committed to the God of the Old and New Testaments without truly being committed. A person can say “anything” but that does not make that person truly committed to what he/she says. R.I.N.O.s for instance. Or someone trying to get re-elected who has been liberal suddenly waking up and saying that he/she is now newly converted to conservative values.

Muzlems wrote in their Koran that it was okay to lie if it promoted their cause of jihad and annihilation. So a Muzlem would be able to lie about being pro-life when indeed he/she was not.

On the other hand, as early as Genesis 25:21,22 the Bible speaks of the unborn in the womb as "child" not as tissue, fetus, etc. So to be pro-life is to be pro-child. To be anti-abortion is to be anti-child abuse.
