Funny: marginal group thinks that the pro-life movement is “marginal”…

By J.C. von Krempach, J.D. | July 27, 2013

Have you ever heard about a group called “Catholics for Choice”? Maybe  not. Or maybe you have.

John O'Brien, the man with the fax machine

Some years ago, one author has aptly described this tragicomic organization as “one man and a fax machine”. I don’t think that this situation has changed. Basically, the group (which itself was forced to admit that it has nearly no members) is a sock-puppet organization that was set up and is funded by the abortion industry to create the imagery of a strong pro-abortion movement within the Catholic Church. But in actual fact the few funders and supporters of that group simply are not Catholics.  CFC, like the pro-abortion movement in general, is built upon a system of lies.

If you look at the support the faithful give to the real Catholic Church (e.g. the more than 2 million people that flocked to Rome in 2005 to bid farewell to the deceased Pope John Paul II, or the 2 million that are gathering at Rio these days to meet Pope Francis at the World Youth Day, you will not be misled about CFC: this group simply has no relevance.

In a recent publication, the group rants about “ultra-conservative anti-choice groups” that continue fighting against the Culture of Death that CFC are promoting. But those dangerous groups, CFC reassures its readers, are marginal and isolated even within the Catholic Church itself. That is evidenced by the imminent failure of the European Citizens’ Initiative “One of Us”  which (in March 2013) had reached less than 250.000 statements of support…

Well, it seems that there is need for a small reality check. It may be true that due to lack of efficient organization the initiative took some time to get started. Pro=Life groups usually don’t get huge funds from George Soros or the European Commission that allow them to spend a fortune on propaganda and full=time professional lobbyists… this is real civil society!). But as I write this, the number of signatures has increased to 822.753, with more than three months still to go. To put this into perspective, the initiative now looks set to become only the second European Citizens’ Initiative to cross the one-million-signature threshold.

Thus, it does not seem that the pro-life movement is as marginal as the fake “civil soviety” group CFC wants to make believe. On the contrary, it becomes apparent that the protection of life as from conception is one of the few causes that really receives widespread support from civil society, even in “post=Christian” Europe…

My congratulations go to “One of Us” and all the other “marginal” groups that continue fighting for human rights, and against the industrial slaughtering of babies that CFC is promoting. The victory will be for life, not for the Culture of Death.
