These people are really dangerous to civil society. They remind me most of the extremist flagellants of the middle ages. In a better world they could be confined for treatment.

Why don't you ask the child. What an unbelievable mind set.
Oh, I see. You are willing to admit that the child should have a choice after birth, but it is alright to kill the child before birth, where, of course, the child has no way to choose life. How hypocritical and inconsistent that philosophy is. In effect, choice is ok some times but not others?
Lewis Black said the same thing; you don't see these anti-abortion Christians out adopting a bunch of crack babies...no that's something JESUS would have done!

I am not required to agree with you or your personal belief.

GALLUP: Abortion decision least popular of President's early actions...
Further, Obama's decision to reverse the prohibition on funding for overseas family-planning providers may be the least popular thing he has done so far. This was an executive order that forbade federal government money from going to overseas family-planning groups that provide abortions or offer abortion counseling. Fifty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of Obama's decision to lift this ban, while only 35% approve of it. The ban on federal funds to these groups was put in place by Ronald Reagan, but lifted by Bill Clinton. George W. Bush re-instituted the ban after taking office in 2001, but Obama has once again lifted it.
"For those promoting adoption, the idea is that it is a gain for the baby or the child. Being surrendered for adoption is not a gain . . Not only are babies sad they are also afraid. We know our mothers, we grow inside their wombs. We hear the music of their hearts, we know their smell, we trust and love them by nature. They are ours, our universe - all that we know, all that we feel, love and are attached to.

Apparently, 58% of Americans agree with the Vatican that Obama's move was WRONG! Only 35% side with Obama's position.

That attack is expected from an institution like Catholic Church. For people who have opinion that fetus is a person, that gays are evil, and masturbation will make you blind, and so on, are their fan base, so they have to rant on about such stuff, even if they don't or never will understand any of those things. Fortunately, people are getting smarter, and Vatican cannot do anything about it, just bark on the moon.

Let's be real. I doubt this has much to do with abortion.
I'd guess it has more to do with money leaving America.

I can tell you that there were many challenges because of prior life of the children. My wife and I don't just talk about it, we LIVED it.

God bless you and your family for setting a great example of humanity and compassion. This takes a great amount of commitment all around. For those of us who are unable to give this much, please take a look at www.compassion.com... . Thank you for your testimony ProfEmeritus, it gives hope for change.

Meanwhile transgenderism, gay sex and other forms of "free love" including nambla [North American Man Boy Love Association] are being taught in our public schools with many teachers including female teachers, molesting and having sex with students but I do not see your self-righteous indignation aimed at them.
In Fact, you have not a clue to what you are talking about. You assume that these sickos are representative of the Church while not even taking into consideration the what they do in this way is also considered abhorrent by 99% of Catholics but Catholics still welcome gays and hypocrites into the fold, so you're welcome to join us at Church too.
Regarding people getting smarter? I do not think so, in fact your post proves my point, that even while , THIS is STILL As DEAD wrong, as it looks

Shucks, tell me something new? Perfection I do not seek. General compliance with accepted societal norms will be sufficient to please me.
It is the COVER UP by the Holy Mother Church’s Divinely ordained hierarchy that has aroused so much animosity in the laymen and outsiders. All the way up to and including the Vicar of Christ, the last pope (JP2) and the now sitting pope (B16). By the bye, do you know where Bernard Law is today? After bankrupting the Boston diocese.
3) Actually, gays and hypocrites are NOT welcomed into the Church's fold until they first 1) REPENT and then 2) promise not to do it again. That is not quite what I’d call a great big jolly old time come as you are “welcome.” If those same 2 rules were applied to all the faithful, the churches would be empty!
For sure you would know if anyone would.

Give it a rest Aermacchi. You are crossing in to "bullydom" with verbal insults and abuse - Civility & Decorum Are Expected.
This is a discussion board - the point is varied - ideas - viewpoints - and beliefs.
My belief/viewpoints are as authentic and rational to me - - as yours are to you.
