There were lots of political cartoons with Catholics as subject matter this week, so I thought I’d give them their very own post.

Liberal political cartoonists enjoyed promoting their and Planned Parenthood’s spin at our and Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s expense this week.
But we will start with the lone accurate cartoon, by Glenn McCoy at GoComics.com…

Faithfully obey all these commands I’m giving you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his directions, and be loyal to him.
Then the LORD will force all these people out of your way. Then you will take possession of the land belonging to people taller and stronger than you….
No one will be able to stop you. As the LORD your God promised, he will make people terrified of you wherever you go in this land.
~ Deuteronomy 11:22,23,25, God’s Word translation
Well, what a week this has been.
What started on a very high note, with news that Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure had decided to stop funding Planned Parenthood, ended on a very low note, with news that Komen had supposedly caved.
But there’s always a silver lining and victory in what looks like defeat.
What positives can you take from the debacle?
Written by Sparky at The Abortioneers blog this week:
The anti-abortion movement is clearly really well organized. They have created websites that list abortion providers names and addresses, they terrorize suppliers, and physicians who have any professional relationships with abortion providers even if they aren’t providing. Its really sick. They have successfully infiltrated the department of health and hospitals and thus inhibited women’s access to abortion in the state where I live and work. I feel like I’m telling them they are winning because I know some sick radical anti is probably reading this now.
This sick radical is always intrigued to read the other side’s view of us. Do you think Sparky’s analysis is correct? Is the pro-life movement “clearly really well organized”? If so, any thoughts on why?
Yes, let the Komen disaster be a lesson to anyone thinking of partnering with Planned Parenthood: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
On that topic, my inside source has checked in, telling me there were advisers who in December thought Komen should not notify Planned Parenthood of its decision to defund the abortion giant and just quietly not renew the grants. But Komen viewed the people at Planned Parenthood as “longtime friends” and felt obligated to let them know. Komen had no idea it was trying to pet a scorpion.
Two comments following the January 23 article in The Hill, “Proponents of DC voting rights challenge proposed late-term abortion ban”:
THIS IS SCIENCE: FETUS IS NOT A BABY (GOOGLE THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CHART), but a parasite because the classification of the biological relationship that is based on the behavior one organism (fetus) and how it relates to the woman’s body…. since a man can kill his tapeworm at anytime– so should a woman abort unwanted, human-parasitic fetus, too.
