"We will stop the practice of abortion by changing the law, and we will be successful in changing the law if we change people's hearts. We will not change hearts by turning away from people in their time of need and when they are experiencing grief and loss.''

—Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Boston's archbishop, defending his participation in Sen. Ted Kennedy's funeral against conservative Roman Catholic critics.

We have become a society made up largely of intolerant, irresponsible hedonists - calling themselves "progressives". For them abortion is just another "choice" - Chocolate or vanilla?
Unfortunately, our nation will never ween itself from the seductive convenience of abortion. However, the Catholic Church should have never compromised with its evil - Not even for the sake of charity and mercy for the Kennedy family. Ted Kennedy deserved no eulogy - only a prayer for his soul and the mercy of God.

Only an uninformed person (or one set on deception) could believe that the country can stop abortion by changing the law, or by giving the deceased the finger.
The illiterates who commented here earlier in condemnation of the late Senator Kennedy, and Cardinal O'Malley, reveal gross political partisanship.
