ACLU Attempts to Force Abortion at Catholic Hospitals

The Culture of Death and liberal fascism – evil twins which never stop trying. From the National Catholic Register:

The Department of Health and Human Services is considering a request from the American Civil Liberties Union that it compel Catholic hospitals to provide emergency abortions.

But the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty has vowed not only to provide free legal defense for any hospital the HHS takes action against, but to sue the feds to stop them…

This is a back-door effort to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions – or to force them out of business. Catholics can never, ever perform or assist in the performance of an elective abortion. Medical procedures can be done which have as their unfortunate side-effect the ending of a pregnancy, but what the ACLU is trying to do here is kick in the door and make an issue where some will claim it was medically necessary, others won’t but liberal judges would be found to rule against the Church and award damages…facing the Church with the stark choice of either denying Truth, or ending a service.

This is what they did in the United Kingdom regarding adoptions – because the liberal fascists demanded that Catholics violate their conscience and adopt children to gay couples, the Church was forced out of the adoption business altogether. The ultimate liberal goal is, of course, to destroy the Church – and they are more than willing to do it in incremental steps, each time calling to witness a misrepresentation of mercy and justice.

Make no mistake about this: we are in a fight for our liberties. All of them. The left, checked in Tuesday’s election, isn’t going to give up. They’ll just keep pressing their case by every avenue available, confident that they’ll eventually wear us down. This is why our fight must be across the board – no truce, ever. While one issue might become temporarily more important than others in the day-to-day battle, we have to be mindful of the big picture, and go toe-to-toe with the left where ever it rears its ugly head.
