Fear keeps pro-lifers from speaking out and the devil convinces pro-lifers that being pro-life is a personal decision\u00a0and that we can&#8217;t stop other people from having abortions &#8211; an evil lie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The devil, of course, wants to discourage us: he tries to sow doubt in our minds about defending human life publicly,&#8221; says Cardinal Burke. &#8220;And he subtly tempts us to remain silent, to mute our conscience, to tell ourselves that we are personally against abortion but do not have to express our faith and moral convictions in public.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal Burke also goes on to say that President Obama is a &#8220;totally secularised man who aggressively promotes anti-life and anti-family policies&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Having been outspoken against abortion in the past, it was during the 2004 presidential campaign that Cardinal Burke told Catholics in a pastoral letter that they should not vote for any politician who supports abortion. He later stated that they could, as long as there was a moral issue greater than abortion at hand. \u00a0However, he said he couldn&#8217;t think of any issue that would be more important than abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a new interview\u00a0published by Ignatius Press, Cardinal Raymond Burke told journalist Guillaume d\u2019Alan\u00e7on that his mother became seriously ill while pregnant with him and was advised by her doctor to have an abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":98476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cardinal Burke reveals he was marked for abortion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/cardinal-burke-reveals-marked-abortion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cardinal Burke reveals he was marked for abortion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&quot;My parents refused,&quot;
