Deceitful ad on abortion

Posted June 28, 2019 1:00 am

The full page "Catholics for Choice" ad in the Sunday, June 23, Daily Herald surely had the intended effect of an advertisement: being noticed. Was a purpose of the ad to recruit other Catholics to their point of view and push for change in Church doctrines?

This ad invoking God, from persons claiming to be Catholic and pro-choice is deceitful. It tries to give the impression that communion with the Catholic Church and promoting abortion rights is possibly false advertising on their part.

If religion is this group's concern, members should seek out people from such organizations as Atheists for Life, Feminists for Life, Humanists for Life, among others, and learn their point of view. They marched in January at the March for Life along with religious groups.

There are nonreligious people believing in the sanctity of life. Their secular pro-life stance has nothing to do with separation of church and state.
