NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the latest wave of lies told by the fans of abortion:
Given the prominence of abortion cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, the subject is weighing heavily on the minds of those on both sides of this issue.
If there is one thing that everyone should insist on it is honesty. Regrettably, the pro-abortion side is jam packed with those who have a hard time telling the truth. Here are three examples, all from December, and the month is only half over.
Yesterday, Whoopi Goldberg said on "The View" that "I, too, am pro-life. No one I know [who] has had an abortion went willingly or happily. They went because they had to go, because they didn't have a choice."
They didn't have a choice? What does this say about the "pro-choice" movement? Is it based on a lie? Moreover, it is disingenuous for Whoopi to say she is "pro-life": it is reported that she had six or seven abortions by the age of 25.
Barbara R. Casper is a retired professor of medicine at the University of Louisville, and the author of a recent op-ed in the Courier Journal on this subject. Taking the pro-abortion side, she said, "I am not pro-abortion. In fact, I dare say no one is actually pro-abortion."
She is wrong. On September 30, 2021, Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi testified before the House Oversight Committee on abortion. She told the panel that "for thousands of people I've cared for, abortion is a blessing, abortion is an act of love, abortion is freedom."
On December 2, 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Roe v. Wade, which effectively sanctions abortion-on-demand. She expressed grave concern over the prospect that the Supreme Court might overturn this decision. "It's really scary—and I say that as a practicing Catholic."
The Catholic Church regards abortion to be "intrinsically evil." By contrast, Pelosi is not only an enthusiast of partial-birth abortion, she wants to force the taxpayers to pay for them. Practicing Catholics don't endorse the killing of babies who are 80 percent born, and they do want the public to fund these abominable procedures.
One of the great things about being pro-life is that our side doesn't have to lie.
