Two living human persons enter the doctor's office. One leaves after her appointment. The other one is dead and abandoned. How is this "health care". ???!!!???

Saying "masturbation is ok, if its without lust" is like saying "abortion is fine as long as the baby is not hurt"

This is one of the reasons I became Catholic, from being a SBC Baptist. The contraception issue and the waiver on abortion... at the beginning of the 20th century all major Christian denominations opposed both. By the middle of the century, only the Church had not changed her teaching on these things.

When YouTube adds its message about the subject of the video, you know you are doing something right.

"National Library of Medicine - An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy." Do they also claim slavery was a procedure to give people jobs?

[AttackDog]

As a Protestant this is a valid critique.

After I read Casti Connubii, while studying to become a Protestant pastor, caused me to think that the Catholic Church is right. It then took me 17 years after reading it to actually enter the Catholic Church. But the reading of it left an Indelible mark on my soul. I entered the Catholic Church last year.

The Protestant church I attended growing up being weak on abortion was a major impetus for my conversion to Catholicism.

Thank you Trent. Realizing the inconsistency of Protestantism on these important issues was the catalyst for my conversion in 2017. I spent a lifetime in the evangelical church, now I’m so thankful to have found the one true Church.

that Mike Winger and Alan Parr clip shook me 🤯

[HugeLungs]

I remember Rush Limbaugh making that case that it’s a historical anomaly that the GOP became pro-life, when the Democrat party was the more likely home. Even Jesse Jackson used to be pro-life! Wild how things change.

How on earth can anyone say the Bible doesn't forbid masturbation?
While the term itself doesn't appear, fornication, sins of the flesh, unchastity are all condemned. It's not all that difficult to apply one/all of those to masturbation.

I'm a Catholic myself, but I know someone simply identifying as a Catholic doesn't mean they're against abortion. The president of the United States claims to be Roman Catholic and his staunch support of abortion is one of his main talking points.

[SouthernFriedPapst]

Hey Google thanks for reminding me that abortion is just healthcare. I’m ready to abandon this platform.

[stefanielozinski]

I gotta say... I am actually shocked and surprised by the positions of these huge Protestant denominations! Horrific. I am very thankful that my Protestant friends today are extremely pro-life, but it is yet more confirmation of why I am a Catholic.

P.S. It really isn't funny but the 'WE CAN SMOKE CRACK!' comment by Alan Parr always cracks me up. No pun intended.

I'm glad we can all unite on this today!

The worst example I could think of this is when, about 7 years ago, there was a protest organized by the Archdiocese of Denver at the nearby Planned Parenthood, the biggest one west of the Mississippi River. The protest included Archbishop Aquila processing around the block with the Eucharist in a monstrance several times. And then some former Catholic decided this would be the perfect time to undermine what the Church was doing and start yelling at people saying the Catholic Church is false. It's really sad that some Protestants would rather have abortion in our country than---God forbid! ---work with Catholics to stop it.

[vmorozco-gonzalez]

That's the problem with schisms and refusal of submission. Either you are your own authority or you accept God as your authority. I am so glad of being a catholic

[mrman]

This is another reason I'm becoming catholic. The church is the most consistent, huh maybe because it's led by the holy spirit
