Catholic Bishop Says Democrats Becoming "Party of Death" Over Abortion
The Vatican (LifeNews.com) -- A leading Catholic bishop at the Vatican says the Democratic Party is coming dangerously close to becoming the "party of death" because of its unlimited support for abortion. The party renewed its pro-abortion views in its platform in August, which calls for making taxpayers fund abortions. U.S. Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, prefect of the Vatican's highest court, says the party "risks transforming itself definitively into a 'party of death.'" Burke made the comments in an interview with Avvenire, a daily Catholic newspaper the Italy Catholic Conference sponsors. The former St. Louis archbishop added: "At this point the Democratic Party risks transforming itself definitely into a 'party of death' because of its choices on bioethical questions as Ramesh Ponnuru wrote in his book, 'The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts and the Disregard for Human Life.'" Burke said the new Democratic Party isn't the same as the one supported by generations past. He told the paper it was once "the party that helped our immigrant parents and grandparents better integrate and prosper in American society. But it is not the same anymore."
