Catholics Democrats Reluctant to Fight Abortion

Michael Westfall has an opinion piece at Spero News addressing Democratic leaders' position that "they agree on the 'undesirability of abortion,'" yet their statement is "painfully void of any reference to stopping abortion in the Democrat party’s platform."

Westfall states "For these Democratic leaders to loudly proclaim that America must protect its most vulnerable citizens and then from the same mouth declare that they will not vigorously protect America’s totally defenseless unborn children is political double talk. It is sheer hypocrisy." They seem to resemble the Pharisees, just a little, don't they? I wonder what Jesus would say to them? Perhaps, it would be something like this:

“Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them ‘Rabbi.’ But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither enter yourselves, nor allow those who would enter to go in." (Matthew 23:1 -13 ).

My Morning Prayer for today seems to be giving me a clue as to what God might be thinking about them at this time:

"You hate all who do evil – you destroy all who speak falsehood – the Lord abominates the bloody and deceitful man."

"For there is no truth in their mouth – their heart is a bottomless pit – their throat is a wide open grave – their tongue seduces."

~ Psalm 5

What an appropriate description!

These "Catholic" (in name only, not practice) Democrats' position couldn't have anything to do with funding from the powerful and heavily funded abortion lobby, could it? During the last election cycle, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood and Emily’s List, an organization which raises funds for female pro-abortion Democrats, raised a combined $160 million.
