Albuquerque, NM – The Albuquerque branch of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice has sent a letter to Archbishop Michael Sheehan asking him to instruct a local priest to break ties with Operation Rescue out of fear that increased pro-life ministry may attract “the same kind of unstable and extremist individuals that were attracted to Wichita.”
“This has to be the height of hypocrisy,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “For one, the RCRC’s rabid support for abortion throughout the latest stages of pregnancy completely violates the tenets of the Christianity in general, and the Catholic Church in particular. Secondly, it is the extreme and violent act of aborting a viable baby using barbaric means that is attracting attention to Albuquerque. Our goal is to stop the violence of abortion using peaceful, legal means, but the abortion acolytes simply want us to shut up and let them kill babies under the cover of silence and secrecy. That is just not going to happen.
“We are the ones who should be complaining to the Archbishop and other religious leaders, asking them to expose and denounce the apostasy of the so-called Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and the atrocity of abortion that they are helping to perpetuate.”
The Truth Truck is now ministering in Albuquerque. OR staffers, Bud and Tara Shaver just returned from a week of ministry there. Watch for a story and photos of this productive outreach coming soon!
