MEXICO CITY, Sept 15 (LifeSiteNews.com) – With upcoming elections in the US, Human Life International is reminding Catholic politicians “Catholic doctrine clearly forbids any endorsement of abortion. … That rule applies as much to the legislator voting on the issue as it does to the abortionist trying to drum up more business.”
In August, Cardinal Norberto Rivera responded to Mexico City’s push to liberalize abortion laws by stating that “anyone who promotes or practices abortion, including legislators and governors, will be excommunicated by the Church.” Father Matthew Habiger, OSB of HLI said, “The Catholic politician who is wishy-washy on abortion might want to think about this the next time he or she is faced with a Life issue – A good rating from NOW and NARAL is an awfully cheap thing to trade your soul for.”
