The Party of Infanticide - Senate Democrats Make It Official

After yesterday’s vote in the Senate, there is no getting around it – the Democrat Party is now the Party of Infanticide.  All but three Democrats voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act, which would have required medical treatment of babies that survive late-term abortions.  No Republican voted against it although three Republicans did not vote. Here is the roll call.

Oh, and all the Democrat Senators who are declared candidates for President voted against it – Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Amy Klobuchar.

At times I’ve wrestled with the question of whether support for today’s Democrats is an acceptable position for a Christian.  (Now I always cut new Christians some slack.  I even supported abortion for a short time after I became a Christian.  Likewise those who are apolitical.)  But, at least as far as the 44 Democrats who voted “No” are concerned, we are surely far beyond what Christians can agree to disagree on. I cannot see how it is acceptable for at least Christian ministers to support any of these six or those 44.  In my jurisdiction, I would consider reporting any such clerics to their bishop.

On a slightly happier note, more are noticing the push towards infanticide and are turning against it and against abortion:

According to a new poll from Marist, Americans' attitudes on abortion have dramatically shifted over the last month. Americans are now as likely to identify as pro-life (47 percent) as they are pro-choice (47 percent). A similar survey taken by Marist just last month found Americans were more likely to identify as pro-choice than as pro-life by a 17-point difference.

It is distressing that this country – or at least blue states – has gotten to this point of depravity.  But maybe such open displays of evil are necessary to open people’s eyes.

Face it. The Church of Rome is Soft on Babykillers.

Yes, I said it. And among the reasons I have contempt for that corrupt institution is I cannot recall a single time it has excommunicated a Democrat politician for his enormities, whether it be slavery, abortion or even infanticide. (Readers, feel free to correct my memory.) 

So the cowardice of Cardinal Dolan toward that babykiller Andrew Cuomo is nothing new. Maureen Mullarkey goes into some of the details behind that, but it’s the same old same old, just worse.

As for the lame argument that the church should not get that political, Catholic Charities openly enables illegal immigration and Pope Francis regularly cheerleads Open Borders and the accompanying invasions.  So the Church of Rome can certainly get political when it wants to, and often for bad causes.

When it comes to wanton killing, the church has excommunicated government leaders before it became limp-wristed and Liberal.  St. Ambrose excommunicated pious Emperor Theodosius, no less, for a murderous incident in Thessalonica.  

I had hoped that the Roman Catholic Church was returning to such robust orthodoxy under John Paul II and Benedict to the point where I quietly considered Rome as an option.  No more.  The Church of Rome is once again becoming just another LibChurch.  Even John Paul and Benedict could not undo the corruption and creeping apostasy of Rome.  So we have a church that will not even excommunicate a governor who kills babies then lights up buildings to celebrate.

I’d rather spit on such a church than join it.
