From Crisis:

Was the Seamless Garment Always a Scam?:

Rebecca Bratten Weiss and Matthew Tyson started the “New Pro-Life Movement” precisely for Seamless Garment purposes. You’d think they would opine. Nope. Crickets. Nothing on the New Pro-Life Movement website and nothing in the blogs of Weiss and Tyson. Oh, you will find things there about the death penalty and posts condemning the actual pro-life movement, but nothing about the shame of these Seamless Garment quislings in the U.S. Senate.

American Magazine published a decent editorial condemning the practice of abortion past the 20th week but the article goes on to condemn the GOP for bringing up the vote at all because it had no chance of passing. They say it was a wedge issue. But the reason the vote went down is precisely because of the 14 Seamless Garment Catholics who voted against it. Had they voted right, it would have passed with 65 votes. Instead of criticizing them, America condemns the pro-life party for partisanship.

Read the whole thing.

How strange that the seamless garment neglects the victims of homicide and abortion. Seams like it cannot hold water.

From what I can tell, those who are NPL Catholics take the view that abortion exists basically because Capitalism and sexist men make it happen. Anything else is just spitting into the wind. It’s those causes that must be addressed.
