"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history." -Cardinal Francis George
No one sums up and argues the case of abortion in so few words with clarity, wisdom and even a touch of humor as does this, man huge in mind, body and soul. In his day the argument that you might be able to terminate a life you cannot see, but not a baby lying before you. However, in our perilous time it is now possible to justify the latter and in some cases, as in NY state, perform the latter, allowing a baby of a botched abortion to die without the least bit of intervention. Oh that this prophet of common sense could make any sense of this!
