The Catholic Association rejects the attempts of Catholics for a Free Choice to sway Catholic voters Washington, DC (TCA) 8 January 2008 - The Catholic Association rejects a pro-abortion Catholic group's effort to confuse Catholic voters. Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC) has launched an advertising campaign that distorts the Catholic position on abortion and attempts to confuse voters. "Catholics for a Free Choice will stop at nothing to advance abortion rights. Their latest campaign puts a new spin on their dizzying logic that promoting abortion is somehow 'Catholic'. Catholics stand for life and will not be confused by the latest attempt of this abortion front group." said Michael Hernon, president of The Catholic Association. The US Bishop Conference has called CFFC "an arm of the abortion lobby in the United States and throughout the world," funded by wealthy private foundations seeking to "promote abortion as a method of population control." "Americans aren't looking to Britney Spears for child care advice nor will Catholics look to Catholics for a Free Choice for voting advice." concluded Hernon. This new campaign tries to confuse voters into believing that CFFC wants to "reduce the need for abortion". They are trying to sway Catholics to vote for candidates who support abortion on demand because they support other policies that may reduce the need for abortion. Catholics and people of good conscience can not tolerate or cooperate with the evil of abortion. A million other policy initiatives do not mitigate a candidate's support for abortion on demand. ### |
