Archbishop Slams Committed Abortion & Infanticide Supporter Obama
Topics: Political News and commentariesDenver archbishop Charles Chaput labeled infanticide supporter Barack Obama as the "most committed" abortion-rights candidate in 35 years! (HT - Gateway Pundit):
My Way News reported:
Denver Roman Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput labeled Barack Obama the "most committed" abortion-rights candidate from a major party in 35 years while accusing a Catholic Obama ally and other Democratic-friendly Catholic groups of doing a "disservice to the church."
Chaput, one of the nation's most politically outspoken Catholic prelates, delivered the remarks Friday night at a dinner of a Catholic women's group.
His comments were among the sharpest in a debate over abortion and Catholic political responsibility in a campaign in which Catholics represent a key swing vote.
...Chaput, without getting into much detail, called Obama the "most committed" abortion-rights major-party presidential candidate since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion in 1973.
"To suggest - as some Catholics do - that Senator Obama is this year's 'real' pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse," Chaput said according to his prepared remarks, titled "Little Murders."

Qualms about embryonic stem-cell research are obscene! Stem-cell research is one of the most promising developments in the last century of medicine.It is true that research on embryonic stem cells entails the destruction of three-day-old human embryos.This is what worries people. Let us look at the details.A three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called blastocyst.There are, for the sake of comparison,more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly.The human embryos that are destroyed in stem cell research do not have brains,or even neurons.Consequently,there is no reason to believe they can suffer their destruction in any way at all. Perhaps some people think that the crucial difference between a fly and a human blastocyst is to be found in the latter's potential to become a fully developed human being.But almost every cell in the human body is a potential human being,given our recent advances in genetic engineering.Every time you scratch your nose,you have committed a Holocaust of potential human beings.This is a fact.The argument from a cell's potential get you absolutely nowhere.
