Father Frank Pavone: Democrats Herald Culture of Death
Topics: Political News and commentariesWhen I first heard about Howard Dean's comments regarding the Terri Schiavo situation and the Democratic "take" on it, I couldn't help but be taken back by Dean's phrase that Father Pavone refers to below. "'Are we going to be allowed to consult our own high powers when we make very difficult decisions?" I wondered just what "high powers" Dean was refering to - Do we each have a different and/or special high power, or is there just ONE GOD? Do we each just decide which of many "high powers" we want to follow?

WASHINGTON -- In response to Howard Dean's comments about the Terri Schiavo situation, Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and a friend of the Schindler family, issued the following statement:
"Howard Dean is leading the Democrats well, because he is making clear to all of us that the party walks in lock-step with the Culture of Death. Not only on abortion, but now on euthanasia, he uses the line, 'Are we going to be allowed to consult our own high powers when we make very difficult decisions?'
"Mr. Dean, I don't know about you, but the decision whether or not to kill Terri Schiavo is not "difficult." Apparently you don't know a murder when you see one. Morally speaking, she was murdered, and being with her at her bedside during her last hours, I saw the terror on her face and the agony of her death. You are right when you say this will be a campaign issue in 2006 and 2008. But you and your fellow Democrats will be sorry that you made it one."
Again, as I've said many times before about the present Democratic leadership on their understanding of faith and values - they just don't get it, and never will. The anti-crowd seem to be determined to continue to behave as though being anti-everything, even the Lord, is their only skill.
