Ed Fitzgerald is "Abortion Ken"
Cuyahoga County Executive Ed Fitzgerald is a "pro-abortion Catholic", a Souper Candidate as my friend Dan Coyne calls such Catholics, and he's making fighting abortion restrictions passed by Ohio lawmakers and signed by Governor Kasich a big part of his 2014 bid for Ohio Governor. Here's proof on his own campaign page. Here's how it starts:
If you care about women’s health, you have to abhor the anti-abortion restrictions inserted into the two-year, $62 billion budget bill that Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed into law.
You really don't need to read any further than that to peg Fitzgerald as pro-abortion. But to leave no shadow of a doubt, Fitzgerald is also proposing a statewide pro-abortion ballet initiative for 2014.
Meanwhile, his presumed Democratic opponent, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, recently urged a ballot fight over restrictions on abortion enacted in the new state budget by Republican lawmakers and Mr. Kasich. If successful, that question would appear on the ballot at the same time he and Mr. Kasich will.
So it seems like he has pretty firmly hitched his wagon to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industrial complex. They will have no trouble ponying up funds for this campaign. At least Fitzgerald is not really wearing a mask. He's another fake Catholic hoping no one cares or notices. Or says anything. If Wendy Davis is Abortion Barbie, then without a doubt, Ed Fitzgerald is Abortion Ken.
I hope Bishop Lennon reads this and comments in a diosesan wide news letter.
ReplyDeleteI like Bp. Lennon but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to comment. He pretty much seems to tow the "non-interference" line on politics. The "yellow-dog democrat" position will hopefully wear off in a few years among Catholics; it's really sad to me that it hasn't yet.
DeleteI care about women's health (duh, I'm a woman with two daughters) and I don't give a flying fig what some pro-abort tells me that I have to care about, that has nothing to do with women's "health."
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just such painful jargon, Barb? Just like NEWSPEAK from Orwell's 1984. "John Kasich passed laws restricting abortion ERGO he doesn't care about WOMEN'S HEALTH. We're going to get rid of those restrictions because we care about WOMEN'S HEALTH."
DeleteFitzgerald deserves to get a lot of grief over his uber-pro-abortion advocacy.
