What Will the Catholic Bishops Say About the Baucus Plan and Abortion?

Should we kill them?

Hey, the Church hierarchy is sticking together, doing the right thing on this issue. Attaboys! As someone who never comments on these pages, can I discuss my thoughts about abortion? Please bear with me. It's friday night, I'm recreating here, and risking some naughty responses.

Thoughts: The freedom to live is primary in our American society, isn't it? Secondary to protecting our right to live, comes the question of protecting our quality of life, no? That's what the government is charged with in this country (yes, you, Mr. President.)

Jesus Christ is supposed to be the leader of all Christians, Catholilcs included. He condemned murder and spoke clearly and often about the sanctity of human life. For a Christian to promote the killing of children, at any age, is clearly contrary to Jesus Christ's will, is it not? If one, i.e. Kennedy, Pelosi et al believe they are Catholics, yet do not do everything possible to fight abortion, and in fact promote abortion with its approximately 1.3 million murders yearly in this country...are they really followers of the same Jesus Christ? Come on, say "yes" or "no" out loud. Take a stand. Where do you think these people will go when they pass on? Come on, you know. Either Heaven or Hell. (Yes only God knows for sure, but you can hazard a guess, can't you?

What about elements of our Catholic church government (Bishops, etc.) that continue to embrace those public figures who pretend to be Catholic, yet promote the aborting of children? How about the aborting of Jews? Is it less heinous to kill babies? Take a stand.

Have these leaders replaced JC with SELF? (one has power over life and death.., one is a false god) Are there shades of truth in Jesus's standard? If we think so, aren't we, and our church at times, chucking the living God in the trash and putting ourselves into his position?

What do you think we should say when we, especially leaders in our churches, meet him, and He asks, "did you cherish and protect my children?" When we, of course, say "no" (I know you'll be honest; how does one lie to God at the gates of Heaven?) but God you need to understand, abortion is a woman's right, it's not really a baby but a "fetus" that is really a part of it's mother's body, and therefore if she can take out a tumor, she can take out a child...; and understand, the child might not have been happy, and the child could have had deformities, which would have ruined our finances and tied us down for the rest of its life; and I didn't want to risk the pro-choice parishoners leaving or not liking me, and (President speaking) I think my ideas and need for power are as valuable as yours...aren't they?

Every Sunday I and my little family are at Mass. I feel God's love for people. Like a warm wind blowing inside of me. Later, when my little daughter lifts her arms and runs to me to be held, I know how God feels, as all His babies come running home to him after so long apart. Should we kill them?
