Pro-life laws a ‘moral imperative’

Pro-life laws a 'moral imperative'

 

Bishop Thomas Wenski of the Diocese of Orlando, Florida has written an essay reaffirming that Catholic support for legal protections for the unborn child is a "moral imperative." His essay also warns that the proposed federal act FOCA could endanger even minor abortion restrictions.

 

Bishop Wenski began his essay in The Ledger by congratulating President-Elect Barack Obama, saying his election could signify a welcome "repudiation of racism." He noted that had the nineteenth century Dred Scott Supreme Court Decision ruling, which considered if African-Americans were property and "somehow less than persons under law," remained in effect Obama could never have been elected.
