My education dwarfs yours by far. You are a servant of the Catholic establishment. Why do I say this? Because you don't have an opinion ... you have the opinion your church tells you to have.
This is the same fundemental issue I have with Islam and virtually every other organized religion.
When a penitent ceases thinking for himself and lets his church think for him, that man becomes a puppet.
Just because you lack the balls or the foresight or both to admit this fact, does not justify your ad hom attacks on me.
Shame on you.
Irrelevant.
The girl we're discussing was carrying twins. She would not have lived through the pregnancy.
The Catholic hypocrites responsible for excommunicating those involved in saving this child's life need to be de-frocked and excommunication for gross misconduct.
You can stop defending the stance of Adolf Poplar and his Nazi Brazilian buddy the Archbishop now.

The point is not whether she would have lived, but whether the delivery of the twins could have been delayed to offer them a more likely chance at survival, or even if that was unlikely, delayed until the pregnancy was at a point where it was a threat ACTUALLY, rather than the potential threat that it was. Perhaps it never would have become an ACTUAL threat--though likely it would have. Simply wait until the course is clear, and then do what one must to protect the girl's life. As it was, the preemptive killing of the twins was not a moral imperative.
No, Felecity, he did not.
Quit defending the idiotic, hypocritical actions of the Archbastard.
The girl was nine years old and pregnant THROUGH NO FAULT OF HER OWN. This is SUFFICIENT CAUSE for an abortion EVEN IF ADOLF POPLAR DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Second, she WOULD NOT have survived the pregnancy. Her total body weight is 80lbs. Her uterus is not developed enough to carry ONE BABY let alone TWO BABIES!
Shame on you for making excuses for your church.
Truth be told --- I don't like abortion either but I am NOT going to accept that the Catholic church is willing to sacrifice the life a 9 year-old incest victim to save the products of rape.
It's disgraceful!
The Catholic church has behaved hypocritically and shamefully and the archbishop is a hypocrite. He attacked the parent of that girl and the doctors who saved her life because they chose to save the life of an underage rape victim.
This is HYPOCRISY on the part of the church. The archbishop is a DISGRACE. Adolf Poplar is former NAZI ASSHOLE!!!! NOW HE'S JUST AN ASSHOLE!!!!
True--but the Bishop wasn't commenting on the legality--he was commenting on the Church's position on the matter--a MORAL position.
And again--perhaps an abortion would have become necessary to protect her life, but at the point they killed the twins, it was not a medical imperative.Second, she WOULD NOT have survived the pregnancy. Her total body weight is 80lbs. Her uterus is not developed enough to carry ONE BABY let alone TWO BABIES!
Quit your moralizing. You have no ethical standing with your bigoted bull**** spewed like a full bladder-ed two-year old in a warm draft.Shame on you for making excuses for your church.
That's not what the Church is/was suggesting. You're pissing on a strawman.Truth be told --- I don't like abortion either but I am NOT going to accept that the Catholic church is willing to sacrifice the life a 9 year-old incest victim to save the products of rape.
And you're the voice of reason...It's disgraceful!
