As Live Action News covered,
NARAL president Ilyse Hogue received thunderous approval from the Democrat
National Convention last week for a speech that included discussing her own
abortion. Now her speech is getting rave reviews from a Catholic nun with a
reputation for defying her church’s pro-life teachings.
“I wanted a family, but it was the wrong
time,” Hogue said. “I made the decision that was best
for me to have an abortion and get compassionate care at a clinic in my own
community.”
“I think what was touching and compelling
was her speaking of her reality,” Sister Simone Campbell told the “Democracy Now!”
show, “and saying that it is not, you know, the bad
girls. It’s all women that have this struggle.”
Campbell went on to say “I
don’t think it’s a good policy to outlaw abortion. Rather, let’s focus on
economic development for women.” She also repeated the popular
pro-abortion attack that pro-lifers are “really only pro-birth” because they
tend not to support a variety
of controversial, government-focused economic policies.
Despite Campbell’s position, her Catholic Church teaches
that the “moral evil” of abortion is an “unchangeable” teaching and that
“Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense” carrying the
“canonical penalty of excommunication.”
