Pro-abortion crony of Mahony gets national forum

Antonio Villaraigosa gave a Spanish-language speech tonight as an official response of the national Democrat Party to the President's State of the Union Address.

Yes, this is the same Antonio Villaraigosa to whom Cardinal Mahony last summer turned over the Cathedral for an "interfaith service" ("coronation" is more like it) on the morning of his inauguration as mayor of Los Angeles - and whom the Cardinal then walked side by side with on a triumphal procession to the inauguration.

And yes, this is the same Antonio Villaraigosa who has been viciously pro-abortion at every stop in his career in politics. Brave Catholic students with "You Can't Be Catholic and Pro-Abortion" t-shirts followed the Cardinal and the mayor-elect last summer in the Cathedral and, with signs, on the procession to the inauguration. How could any Cardinal forsake those pro-life true hearts for a pro-abortion politico?

From Villaraigosa's remarks tonight, though, no one listening would have any idea that he is pro-abortion. He professed to be pro-family. He used the word "family" so often, you'd think it was the only word he knew. He expressed concern for children. And he ended by saying, "God bless America; God bless you all."

So here is the party of abortion giving a national forum to a pro-abortion nominally Catholic politician. They are obviously grooming him for future national office. They are obviously using him to deceive people into thinking that he and his party are pro-family and, by extension, pro-life -- when just the opposite is true.

So, Cardinal Mahony, you helped sow the seeds of all this last summer when you welcomed Villaraigosa in the Cathedral and you paraded with him in public. Has anyone ever seen you give similar blessing to any pro-life politician anywhere?

Looks like the Left Coast's well on its way to getting its own Ted Kennedy!

Mmmm, don't think that he's just aiming for the Left Coast. I think Villaraigosa might be a break-out candidate in 2008.

Villaraigosa is a tool.

Oh for Pete's sake.
First off...it is PRO-CHOICE...NOT pro-abortion.
Second...you most certainly can be Catholic and pro-choice.

Dear Anonymous 5:48 p.m.,

They are pro-abortion: The pro-abortion groups hold dinners to salute and applaud abortionists, and at least one group watched a video of an abortionist killinga baby and cheered wildly.

And anyone who's ever seen an abortion mill's "escorts" ("deathscorts" is what they are) do everything they can to keep pro-life sidewalk from giving pro-life materials to their customers and ofering them alternatives, knows they want only one "choice."

Same with all the girls and women whom their boyfriends, parents, grandparents and husbands browbeat and even physically shove into the abortionists's clutches. That is in NO way any "choice" at all.
