FIRST THINGS
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Preface: This page is dedicated to the local Catholic-in-name-only politicians (CINOP) Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez; State Senator Lou Correa and Assemblyman Jose Solario. Thanks to the politics of President Barack Obama, we are today a center-right pro-life nation. Abortion is a sacrament to the secular religion of America. They are anathema to traditional America, but also to the Catholic faith.

“Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.” Recalling America by Mother Teresa, May 1994 “First Things” – Twentieth Anniversary Issue – March 2010 * Number 201

“What natural law theory essentially opposes is the notion that moral law is subjective, evolutionary, pragmatic, or existential. What it excludes is a distillation of moral law from the transcendent supernatural, that is, from divine revelation. What it affirms is that all human beings share a set of ethical norms and imperative that they commonly perceive without dependence on supernatural disclosure and illumination.” “Natural Law and a Nihilistic Culture” by Carl E.H. Henry. January 1995 issue

“Late one night, as I viewed an abortion slide, my youngest child, then a sleepy three-year-old, unexpectedly entered the room. I heard his sharp intake of breadth as he saw the body of a three-month-old, dismembered by a D & C abortion. With great sadness in his voice, he asked, “Who broke the baby?” Here was a child too young to have his sight clouded by semantic subterfuge, and, with a wisdom that often escapes the learned, he could mentally assemble the body parts and call what he saw a broken baby.” “Who broke the Baby?” by Jean Garton, June/July 1995 issue

“The United States of America was founded on the conviction that an inalienable right to life was a self-evident moral truth, fidelity to which was a primary criterion of social justice … Whenever a certain category of people - the unborn or the sick or old –are excluded from that protection, a deadly anarchy subverts the original understanding of justice. The credibility of the United States will depend more and more on its promotion of a genuine culture of life and on a renewed commitment to building a world in which the weakest and most vulnerable are welcomed and protected.” “The American Experiment” by John Paul II, April 1998 issue

“Elective abortion changes everything. Abortion absolutely prevents the birth of a child. A woman’s choice for or against abortion breaks the casual link between conception and birth. It matters little what or who caused conception or whether the male insisted on having unprotected intercourse. It is she alone who finally decides whether the child comes into the world. For the first time in history, the father and the doctor and the health-insurance actuary can point a finger at her as the person who allowed an inconvenient human being to come into the world.” “Her Choice, Her Problem” by Richard Stith, August/September 2009 issue
