Kathleen Sebelius's Abortion Stance: the Catholic Angle
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
The Brody File says the White House is weighing the controversy over Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius's ties to embattled abortion provider George Tiller in deciding whether to appoint her to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. I wonder how much (if it all) this controversy is exacerbated by Sebelius's Catholicism and her falling out with her own bishop over her support for abortion rights. If Sebelius were a pro-choice, mainline Protestant, would she be less of a lightning rod for pro-lifers?

Great post
Cool story you got here. I'd like to read more about this matter.
Congratulations, Gov. Sebelius!
As a survivor of Catholicism, I commend Sebelius and wish her the best. She places quality of life above mere existence, and that is to be applauded.
Difference of belief
Just because Protestants believe differently than Catholics does not mean that abortion should be legal. There is such a thing as objective truth, and it is objectively true that a fetus is alive from the moment of conception. Therefore, it is irrefutable that abortion kills a living thing. Now, as for the issue of the humanity of the fetus, if it is not human, what is it? There certainly is nowhere else in nature where anything, animal or vegetable, changes from one species to another. This is one instance in which popularity CANNOT supercede objectivity.
