Pro-life is not just opposing abortion, Vatican says after U.S. ruling

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Reuters) - Anti-abortion activists should be concerned with other issues that can threaten life, such as easy access to guns, poverty and rising maternity mortality rates, the Vatican's editorial director said on Saturday.

In a media editorial on the United States Supreme Court's ruling to end the constitutional right to abortion, Andrea Tornielli said those who oppose abortion could not pick and choose pro-life issues.

"Being for life, always, for example, means being concerned if the mortality rates of women due to motherhood increase," he wrote.

He cited statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing a rise in maternity mortality rates overall and that the rate was nearly three times higher for black women.

5. Back in 2009 they were invested in a pharmaceutical company

that produced birth control. They offered an apology when it was discovered. So in a way, they already were until caught.

4. Cafeteria Christians will ignore this pronouncement

Wing-nutz like to broadcast that they’re (supposedly) Christian because they’re trying to ban abortion and make everyone else stop having sex. Then along comes the guy in the Vatican pointing out the obvious, then. —Crickets—

6. Fuck the Vatican and all the Bronze Age fairy tales

Religion is a bane to mankind and the planet.
