Father Frank on FOX News

Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life was on the FOX News Sunday morning show discussing Obama’s honorary degree along with Father Richard McBrien, a professor at Notre Dame. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a prolifer on national television speak out so forcefully against abortion. Here’s the transcript.
The problem here is that we're trivializing abortion, and — but the people are speaking out. People are getting angry that 1.2 million children are being aborted every year. Now, this honorary doctorate today is a law degree. Law is for the protection of human rights.

The president admitted on the campaign trail he doesn't know when the child gets human rights. How can you defend human rights if you don't know who has them?

.....

We have to protect children. He's refusing to recognize that these children have rights. Now, I've held aborted children. I've buried them. I've picked up the broken fragments of their skulls. I don't know if Father McBrien has done that.

But the people around this country are tired of trivializing abortion. They're tired of mixed messages coming from Catholic institutions that are supposed to have a pro-life mission. We're tired of looking at abortion as just on an equal level with other issues. It's not.
