ROME (CNS) — The Democratic
\nParty in the United States "risks
\ntransforming itself definitively into a ‘party of death,’" said U.S. Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, prefect of the Vatican’s highest court.<\/p>\n

…Archbishop Burke was asked if he knew that the August Democratic National
\nConvention in Denver featured a guest appearance by Sheryl Crow, a musician
\nwhose performance
\nat a 2007 benefit for a Catholic children’s hospital the archbishop had opposed
\nbecause of her support for abortion and embryonic stem-cell research.<\/p>\n

"That does not surprise me much," the
\narchbishop said. "At this point the Democratic Party risks transforming itself definitely into
\na ‘party of death’ because of its choices on bioethical questions as Ramesh
\nPonnuru wrote in his book, ‘The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the
\nCourts and the Disregard for Human Life.’"<\/p>\n

[Article<\/a>]\n<\/p>\n

Sheryl Crow appearing there is not as big of deal as Nancy Keenan, President
\nof NARAL and Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards being some of the speakers
\nthere. I think "risks transforming itself definitively" is a charitable view of what has happened
\nsince really they passed this point awhile ago.<\/p>\n

Though the Republicans can’t exactly call themselves the Party of Life with the
\nsupport of some forms of ESCR by some Republicans including Sen. McCain. While
\nit was a good sign that rank-and-file Republicans for the most part were not
\ngoing to support pro-abortion Mayor Giuliani there were still plenty that were
\nwilling to accept him just as long as he was strong on national security. We
\nmust never minimize evil just because one party or candidate is less evil than
\nthe other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
