Nelson
Mandela, the celebrated former president of South Africa who showed the
resilience of the human will in the face of prolonged persecution, regrettably
did not his extend his “noble defense of human dignity” to the “youngest
members of our human family, unborn children,” said Rev. Thomas J. Tobin, bishop
of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I.
In a statement
on Mandela’s death (Dec. 5), Bishop Tobin praised the former political prisoner
who helped defeat Apartheid in South Africa and became its president from 1994
to 1999.
However,
“[w]hile we pray for the peaceful repose of President Mandela’s immortal soul
and the forgiveness of his sins, we can only regret that his noble defense of
human dignity did not include the youngest members of our human family,
unborn children,” said Bishop Tobin…… According to the Christian Post, more
than 1 million babies have been killed by abortion since the Choice on
Termination Pregnancy Bill was signed into law by Mandela. See more at:
