Our editorial “No Deal, Rudy” got a significant
amount of attention last week.
Popular
national radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham read portions of it on her
program. Fox News quoted from it on its website. Talk-show host Sean Hannity
argued against its premise on his own show.
We
are glad that the Register is making an impact, especially in an area that is
so vital.
The
political cycle has been sped up. This is unfortunate for those of us who would
like to focus on something other than politics. However, it is still early
enough that insistent voices can have a big impact.
This
is the stage of the political race where the various party leaders release
“trial balloons” to see how people will react. Whenever the “pro-abortion”
trial balloon is sent up, Catholics need to make it clear that we will under no
circumstances compromise the right to life.
The
U.S. bishops have echoed Vatican guidelines for Catholics who vote.
“In
protecting human life, ‘We must begin with a commitment never to intentionally
kill, or collude in the killing, of any innocent human life, no matter how
broken, unformed, disabled or desperate that life may seem’,” says the U.S.
bishops’ document “Faithful Citizenship.” “As we wrote in ‘Living the Gospel of
Life,’ ‘Abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human life
and dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental good
and the condition for all others.’”
Count on the Register to
stay focused on this fundamental issue.
