So the Pope’s here.
And maybe some people seem to be taking it a little too seriously.
“American Life League warns pro-abortion Catholic politicians not to politicize the Eucharist in a nation-wide, full page message addressed to Pope Benedict XVI. On April 17, Pope Benedict XVI will celebrate Mass in Washington, DC where pro-abortion Catholic politicians are expected to attempt to receive communion,” reads the release issued by American Life League.
Yes, let’s make sure we don’t politicize the event.
"Pro-abortion Catholics, who are not really Catholics at all, are opportunists of the worse sort. It would not surprise us at all if they seek to validate their position by exploiting the Holy Father's visit by receiving Holy Communion from the pope," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League.
Nothing like a news release to celebrate being opportunistic and exploitative.

Well that's the pot calling the kettle black.

Sometimes it's not about politics.
My boyfriend once announced that his official view on abortion was “anti-choice.”
He often likes to test his boundaries, so I ignored him – until about five minutes later when his words fully sunk in.
“You’re WHAT?” I asked.
“You heard me," he shrugged. "Anti-choice.”
“Be quiet,” I said. “You’re being disrespectful.”
To whom, I’m not really sure – but I know someone besides me would be annoyed.
“I’m not really,” he explained. “I just like getting your reaction.”
I can only hope that’s what the American Life League was going for when they issued a news release with the headline, “ALL: Throw Babies in the Dumpster, Get a Slap on the Wrist???”
I really don’t care where people fall in the debate - be anti-choice if you want.
But I think everyone should be firmly pro-sense and anti-triple question mark when it comes to news release headlines.
