There are plenty of Catholic laws that we don't necessarily think should be the law of the state. Premarital sex, for example. It's against Catholic law, but we don't think it should be illegal.
Abortion we do think should be illegal because we see it as killing an innocent human life.
But why are there any instances of Catholic dogma that shouldn't be implemented into the nations laws ??
Does Catholic conviction falter on some issues ?? Are doubts are creeping in ??
Timothy assures us ALL scripture is suitable. No asterisk, no fine print, just the Word. Otta be easy, no ?
(weird this post sounds snarky, but I'm perplexed again/still)
There are a lot of things that are "Catholic dogma" and also happen to be against the law. Stealing, murdering, raping, etc. Like all those things, we think abortion should be against the law because it is taking away the right of someone else. In this case, the right to life of the unborn.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
