Catholics for Choice Has an Unambiguous Hatred for God
The history of Catholics for Choice reveals a group of alleged Catholics who dissent from Church teaching. They do this in very public ways and have done so from the organization’s founding in 1973.
Making Babies without God
When people become blind to Church teaching and put their wants and needs above Our Lord’s, they lead their souls into jeopardy.
