Abortion and Social Justice – Douglas W Kmiec
Douglas W. Kmiec is a prominent Republican and committed Roman Catholic. He was head of the Office of Legal Counsel for Presidents Reagan and the first Bush.
He became notorious for coming out in support of then-Senator Obama’s campaign for the Presidency, and for publishing things like the following.
He speaks of “the Catholic tradition” as
not just
condemnation of the evil of abortion,
but also as
the building up of a societywhere those at risk of falling or disregarding this boundary will be far less like to do so because of the tangible help of their neighbor, inspired by the witness of Christ rendered both personally and through government. [p45]
