Bolded where I think you've gone wrong. To my knowledge no one here has said they've changed their opinions, like you are suggesting.
Quote:That would certainly seem like implying different events to me, (!), not least because they didn't change their opinion, rather their argument is based on how the law itself defines unborn children.
It doesn't matter, fact is they're happy enough to use the law to suit their own ends when things need to go in their favour. But every other time they're against such laws. This is by definition hypocritical.
Quote:The hospital isn't actually "doing" anything, least of all being hypocritical.
Please explain to me how an organisation that has actively campaigned against the legal definitions used for this case in the past, yet is now happy to use them because it suits their own ends, is anything but hypocritical.
Quote:If the law states that an unborn child is not a person, then it cannot issue a credible judgement on grounds that it is a person.
It has to be consistent.
It's not about the law it's about what catholics supposedly think is moral and correct.
For the record I don't begrudge them at all for doing what they are in court, but it is still a hypocritical thing to do, supposing you're an organisation that so fervently holds such beliefs as they do on abortion and one which has actively campaigned against the laws they are now employing to protect themselves.
