Christian citizenship as moral duty...

"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of..."
--Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (New York Times, July 7, 2009)

This quote is very telling, regarding the motives of those who promote the 'culture of death' throughout the world. What the Supreme Court Justice revealed is the sinister agenda of the progressive movement--to eliminate those who society deems not worthy of life--minorities, the disabled, the elderly--those who 'cost' rather than 'contribute' to society in their view.
Thus, the virulent promotion of abortion--in the United States and across the globe--with the current President and his emissaries pushing abortion on demand in some of the poorest countries in the world-- to the point of attaching aid [our tax dollars]to whether or not these nations implement 'abortion on demand' into their constitutions.
In this nation, we have abandoned our Christian duty to the most vulnerable, in particular the preborn--by electing the most pro-abortion president this nation has ever had sit in the Oval Office.
This information was not hidden in 2008--yet even among Catholics--he amassed over 50% of their votes...that is an abomination!
The Catholic Church has had the same moral teaching for over 2,000 years, thus those who voted for this President abdicated their moral responsibility by voting for him.
The Church teaches clearly on the duties of citizens. Let me quote from the Catechism, as I believe it is pertinent to the issue of defending life, and promoting moral order....
--"The citizen is obliged in conscience not to follow the directives of civil authorities when they are contrary to the demands of the moral order, to the fundamental rights of persons, or the teaching of the Gospel. Refusing obedience to civil authorities, when their demands are contrary to those of an upright conscience, finds its justification between serving God and serving the political community."--#2242
And
"It is part of the Church's mission 'to pass moral judgements even in matters related to politics, whenever the fundamental rights of man or the salvation of souls requires it."--#2246
Finally
"Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law."--#2271
What is the meaning of our Christian duty then if we first and foremost deny the right to life to our preborn brothers and sisters in Christ?
For those who abdicated that first duty in the 2008 election, and those who continue to seek justification for the genocide of the unborn-- as Christians we must pray for them, educate them, and deny elective office to those who promote this heinous action. We must overwhelm them by exercising our Christian moral duty in the voting booth. This November 2nd election can be our first step.
In our time, the Mother of our Lord has been intervening through apparitions and locutions to humble, holy souls...we must listen to her....
"Be witnesses of prayer. Pray always; pray with the holy rosary. Multiply cenacles of prayer, amongst you priests and with the faithful. Above all, spread all about you family cenacles, which are desired by me as a remedy for the great evils which are today threatening the life of Christian families, through the legitimizing of abortion, of divorce, and of all the methods which prevent life..."

I do not believe that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg speaks for the majority of Americans. However, this sinister, progressive elite currently controlling the power in this nation will continue to have influence if we permit it.
The two new Justices appointed by the President were appointed because they share his world view. The Senate of the United States confirmed them. Christians in this nation must make it clear by the power of the ballot that we do not subscribe to the most abominable tyranny--state sanctioned homicide of the preborn. This is our duty.
