Compromise--Judie Brown, American Life League--"Evangelium Vitae" What does "Evangelium Vitae" really say? There appears to be a growing tendency among some pro-life Americans to gravitate toward compromise. Some have used Pope John Paul II’s Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), - specifically Section 73, paragraph 3 - to justify their wobbly wisdom.
Some argue that Pope John Paul II's encyclical contains language that permits the acceptance of some abortion in legislative and political situations. The problem with the argument is that a pope is someone who represents Christ on earth and upholds the fundamental tenets of Catholic teaching and biblical pronouncement. So how could it be that a pope would excuse even a single abortion?
Others, primarily alleged proponents of personhood, have turned a blind eye to ethical language and have done the easy thing—accommodating the world view instead of the scientific facts. And still others are now ready to work with the pro-aborts in order to make “abortion less common.”
Judie Brown's analysis of the problems created by pro-lifers who fail to adhere to truth, logic and reality:
Abortion, Pro-Lifers and a Rash of Relativism
