Every day the laughter grows as more evidence is leaked that the game was rigged. "Curveball's" admission is just the latest piece of evidence of rigging by the West.Now Colin Powell fears that his role will be revealed. However,when people like Perle and Bremer could boast that schools were being built in Iraq so that girls could receive an education and women would have rights,what rights do you think they were referring to? We were never told that we invaded Iraq so women would have rights, were we? But we did!Rights to end a pregnancy! Why else is Sec. Clinton travelling through the Philippines(heavily Islam),Indonesia (the largest Muslim population in the world)touting the societal benefits of contraception and abortion? What is delaying the settlement of the Israeli/Palestine issue, among others, but that the Palestinian birthrate is higher than the Israeli and the demographics would overwhelm a Jewish state.Why is the same pro abortion assault directed against blacks (some of whom are Muslim) and Latinos in this Country by the Obama administration? Muslims, as a group, have larger families. It is all a piece. - Bill Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:11:20 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/conscience-protection-at-risk.html#comment-6063 Mr. Saunders may wish to respond as well, but speaking for myself I must say I find highly unlikely Bill's claim that "the West is attempting to destroy Islam militarily" because of Islam's opposition to abortion, etc. Putting aside questions about the prudence of specific post-9/11 policy decisions, I see no evidence whatsoever that America and its allies fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq do so to enforce a pro-choice agenda. - Brad Miner Thu, 17 Feb 2011 07:20:24 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/conscience-protection-at-risk.html#comment-6062 A Post Script: When one reads your piece three times, an epiphany leaps from the page-the tremendous demand to have abortion accepted world-wide necessitates the destruction of ANYTHING which would stand in the way.Of course,the major obstacles are the Roman Catholic Church and Islam. This explains why the West is attempting to destroy Islam militarily and the Church by pressing constsntly for aberrosexual "marriage", pornography, divorce, contraception, etc. in order to reduce the influence of the Church. The problem: When the Blessed Mother warned of "a war greated than this war",she was warning of WW II which brought us Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One cannot imagine what the next chastisement (does anyone really believe that anyone is getting away with these evils?)will be. - Bill Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:55:58 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/conscience-protection-at-risk.html#comment-6061 This situation will not go away. John XXIII convened a Commission, generically referred to as the Birth Control Commission, just before his death, at the behest of the World Health Organization (WHO). As we know, many Catholics supported/support the use of contraceptives which lead to the abortion of the "unwanted foetus". You and many pro-life organizations are doing a great job of attempting to stall this horror, but the opposition is well organized and well funded.In order to accomplish their goals, they are willing to allow a man who cannot produce a birth certificate to be the President of the United States. - Bill Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:03:47 +0100
