Donohue Interviews Obama on Abortion

Catholic League president Bill Donohue envisions a discussion with President Obama.

NEW YORK, NY (Catholic League) - Associated Press reports today that "A south Texas couple put an aborted 7-month-old fetus under a Christmas tree after they were unable to flush the remains down a toilet, authorities alleged Monday. Ruby Lee Medina, 31, and Javier Gonzalez, 37, of Mission, have been charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence." It is alleged that the woman used pills to induce the abortion.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue envisions a discussion with President Obama:

Donohue: When asked when life begins, you once said that it was above your pay grade to answer.

Obama: Yes.

Donohue: But can you answer this much: Is a corpse a dead body?

Obama: Yes.

Donohue: Is it true that all dead bodies were previously alive?

Obama: Yes.

Donohue: Then if this 7-month old was previously alive, how is this abortion different from any other?

Obama: In this instance, no one was paid, the cops were summoned, the toilet was rendered inoperable and the corpse was placed in a gift box.

Donohue: That's it? In other words, there are no moral differences?

Obama: My salary doesn't justify an answer.
