Pro- Choice Supporters Worshipping False Idols
Recently in Lincoln Cardinal Justin Rigali spoke at a convention to rebuild the Culture of Life. He spoke on the pro-life behalf of the ongoing political debate of abortion. Abortion is always a controversial issue because it is not an issue of politics but that of morality. Cardinal Rigali believes that opposition to embryonic research is not a religious position but a moral stance because an embryo is a child formed in the womb. Freedom of choice, Cardinal Rigali believes, is negated by the most basic principal which is to live. Rigali said, “The City Council has mistaken evil for good, a modern-day form of idolatry.” He wants to change our modern day culture to a positive pro-life message.
Currently 1.2 million abortions were performed in the United States, but support for abortion is at an all-time low with only 44% in favor. Personally, like many people in my generation, I am pro-choice. I think that this man’s message is good, but he goes way overboard with his ideas. He refers to us as a culture of death because of the number of people who are pro-choice and not pro-life. The freedom of choice and the freedom to live are on the same level. Neither of them have a larger degree of freedom that the other. The exception of being able to have an abortion is if either the child or the mother are needed to be saved and can’t survive with each other. There is also the concern of rape, because most people who are raped don’t want a constant reminder of their rapist. If you were to put that restriction on that I think that the number of reported rape cases would go up, and they could possibly be false. Abortion is an issue that will forever be discussed and one that may never have a solution that people can agree on.
