In this file photo, the Rev. Frank Pavone of the antiabortion group Priests for Life dedicates a basket of naming certificates for 47 babies who died in the Philadelphia clinic of Kermit Gosnell. (Andre Kim/Priests for Life via Religion News Service)
Ahead of Tuesdays presidential election, the Rev. Frank Pavone took an aborted fetus, laid it upon an altar Sunday and posted a live video on Facebook. Pavone, a Catholic priest who heads New York-based Priests for Life, said the fetus was entrusted to him by a pathologist for burial.
During an already heated and divisive campaign season, Pavones video has raised questions for some about what is appropriate antiabortion and political activism in the church. As of Monday afternoon, the video, which is 44 minutes long, had 236,000 views. In it, he holds up a poster of graphics of abortion procedures.
In Pavones Facebook appeal, he wrote, we have to decide if we will allow this child killing to continue in America or not. Hillary Clinton and the Democratic platform says yes, let the child-killing continue (and you pay for it); Donald Trump and the Republican platform says no, the child should be protected.

Even tho Frank is a refreshing leader, these strum troopers in pockets throughout the US and A still have some pretty horrific ideas.

(249 posts)I would send any info people have of priests doing anything like this to the Pope. I don't know where and how you could send it but I'm sure that priest would get his walking papers. So much for this dude being a representative of God. I am a Catholic and can't even imagine anything like this happening.

(20,174 posts)but wouldn't be unusual for an aborted fetus to be intact? IF that is a human fetus, my guess is that it was micarried, not aborted.
