Cardinal Arinze on pro-choice politicians who are “personally opposed” to abortion

This is a great clip (via @UnbornHumanLife) from Cardinal Arinze on pro-choice politicians who are “personally opposed” to abortion but have a consistently pro-abortion voting record. The latter half deals with the Catholic issue of communion, but the initial criticism is for Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

To the person who says, “personally, I am against abortion, but then, if people want to do it, I leave them free,” you could say, “you are a member of the Senate or the Congress; personally, I am not in favour of shooting the whole lot of you, but if someone else wants to shoot all of you in the Senate or all of you in Congress, it’s just pro-choice for that! But personally, I’m not in favour…” That is what he’s saying! He is saying that, personally, he is not in favour of killing these millions of children in the womb, but if [someone else] wants to do it, it’s pro-choice!
