Admitting the Truth About How the Media Covers Abortion

I 1st heard about this article in Fr. Parker's sermon at Mass last Saturday evening at St. Mary's Catholic Church in E DBQ. The theme of the sermon was respect life & he brought up Gosnell & what he did as an example of the evils of abortion. He shared 1 paragraph from the article about the media & how they are covering it. That paragraph said:

"Yet this is not an isolated incident. In fact, it is only the tip of the abortion iceberg. The media is deliberately downplaying the story for one simple reason: There are hundreds of similar abortion clinics across the country. Exposing what takes place in facilities run by the likes of Dr. Gosnell would shock voters into taking decisive action to make abortion illegal. This is why the killing of innocent unborn children is done largely away from public view. It is a creeping, hidden genocide that can continue only if the fiction of abortion being a "medical procedure" is maintained."

Fr. Parker also talked about the book Lime 5 that I have mentioned before. He made it clear that the book wasn't for everyone. He brought the book up to show Gosnell wasn't an exception, just as the article he quoted said.

Fr. Parker started out by pointing out that his sermon was part of his responsibility as a priest to proclaim what the Church taught. That included calling abortion what it was, an intrinsic evil. It also included calling us to speak out for the unborn.

I mention part of what Fr. Parker said because I feel it is important to hilite that there are some priests out there who are not pulling punches.

But my main reason is to talk about the article the quote came from. The article is a commentary by Jeffrey T. Kuhner. The fetal solution looks at the media coverage as well as as the real horror that abortion is. I recomend reading the entire article. he takes a good look at the truth about abortion, modern liberalism & its attempts to destroy modern culture.

I want to point out that he is saying what has been said by me as well as many others about how the media is aiding & abetting the abortion industry. & he pulls no punches about why they do so, telling the truth "would shock voters into taking decisive action to make abortion illegal." & that is something the liberals don't want to happen.

I will mention few other gems I found in the article, again with the recomendation you read the entire article. I have rarely seen an article by a member of the print media that takes this honest of look at his profession as well as the culture that has resulted.

Kuhner rightly calls Gosnell "the Josef Mengele of our time." Later he talks about how liberalism "champions the degradation of the individual, forging what the late Pope John Paul II called the "culture of death." Abortion, birth control and euthanasia - they are the holy trinity of the secular post-Christian left." (emphasis mine) & later he also has a very comment about how abortion clinics "constitute the "gulag archipelago" of liberalism." He doesn't let conservatives off easy either. He makes it clear conservatives "have ceded the culture to the enemy." He does so clearly to urge us on to more action. As he says at the end of the piece "Conscientious Americans must work tirelessly to end this abortion abomination."
