Pro-Life Leaders Gather in Georgetown After March for Life

The question of abortion is not 'when does life begin.' It is 'which human beings deserve human rights.'

Pro-life leaders gathered at Georgetown University for the 20th annual Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life one day after the March for Life was held in Washington, D.C. Named after the former archbishop of New York, it is the largest collegiate pro-life conference in the United States, bringing together leading pro-life advocates and hundreds of students from around the country.

Aimee Murphy and Herb Geraghty from the non-profit Re-humanize International gave a talk entitled, "Embracing the ‘F' Word: Learning to Love (Pro-Life) Feminism." Re-humanize International is a non-profit and non-sectarian human rights organization dedicated to promoting the consistent life ethic, which entails a commitment to opposing aggressive violence against human beings in all stages of life, including abortion, unjust war, euthanasia, and torture.

Geraghty expresses confidence that science is on the side of the pro-life movement. He finds it interesting when his friends "who are so into science" and passionate about environmental activism, which he supports, then call the baby inside a woman "a parasite or a clump of cells."

Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), hosted a breakout session focused on abortion’s impact on the African-American community.

I don't think tax money should ever be used to fund abortion but tax funded contraceptives and education would go a long way in preventing a lot of abortions.

Not sure where you got your "90 PERCENT of Catholics are Democratic" statistic from, but I highly doubt it. I suspect that, like much of the nation, Catholics are divided more evenly among political parties.
