Cardinal Rigali: Pro-choice supporters worshipping false idols

People who support abortion, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research are worshipping “modern-day false idols,” Cardinal Justin Rigali said in Lincoln Saturday.

“(They are) putting their faith in human ingenuity and technology,” rather than following God and moral principles, he told about 350 people attending the annual Nebraska pro-life convention.

Opposition to embryonic research is not a religious position, but a moral stance based on scientific facts, Rigali said...Even an embryo has the full complement of DNA that make a human being, he noted.

He also talked about the incorrect concept of freedom espoused by those who support abortion choice. “Freedom of choice is invoked against the freedom of someone to be born,” he said in the interview. “The most basic freedom is the freedom to exist, to live.” That freedom, Rigali said, is denied when an unborn child in aborted.

“The cause of life cannot be served by destroying life,” he said in his speech.
