Letter to the Editor, Catholics for Life, not Choice Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller of San Antonio responded to the Catholics for Choice advertisement in the San Antonio Express-News. The Archbishop stated, “An organization called Catholics for Choice placed a full-page advertisement in the September 12 edition of the  San Antonio Express-News  with inaccurate information which must be corrected, since it misrepresents the truth and what the Catholic Church believes and teaches. This misrepresentation is demonstrated by their statement that ‘Public funding for abortion is a Catholic social justice value.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. Before responding to claims made by Catholics for Choice in ‘Abortion in Good Faith’ it should be noted that this group does not speak for the Catholic Church.  For more than 2,000 years, the Church has steadfastly proclaimed that respect for all human life at every stage is foundationa...

I was a liberal back in the days when being a liberal involved a passion for anti-poverty programs, labor unions, racial equality, anti-discrimination, and of course women’s rights. I met my husband in college; he was also a proud liberal like me. We were idealistic, in love and we were going to change the world. But then being a liberal began to slowly shift and now it has became radically revolutionary. To be a liberal today means you have to believe unborn babies are not babies, that they are not human beings, that they are not persons. Liberals believe that God-given, divine directives mandating marriage and family life are archaically obsolete. Liberals believe that a man is a woman when he feels he’s a woman, and that a woman is a man when she feels she’s a man. Liberals believe that it’s bigotry to believe tha...
