The BBC says:
Abortion leads to Nazi-style birth control and lets the strong decide the fate of the weak, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor has warned.
The head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales wrote: "That way lies eugenics, and we know from German history where that leads."
He denounced "embryo selection on the basis of gender and genes".
...
The cardinal claimed human beings were made "instruments of other human beings", in the Sunday Telegraph article.Britain was already on the road to Nazi-style eugenic - or selective breeding - policies, he argued.
"For what else is the termination of six million lives in the womb since the Abortion Act was introduced, and embryo selection on the basis of gender and genes?"
Cardinal Murphy O' Connor also said in an interview with Baroness Shirley Williams for the GMTV Sunday programme that it was "legitimate" for Catholics to discuss issues surrounding abortion.
But he insisted that he was not saying Catholics should vote for any one political party.
All part of the recent campaign by the UK church establishments to demonise abortion, and a bit rich coming from someone who represents one of the worst religions in the world, in particular a religion which discourages the practise of birth control. Of course he is not going to recommend any one political party, he is willing to support any dreadful politician who is anti-abortion. And one of the points of established religion is to turn human beings into "instruments of other human beings", i.e. the church establishment (who decide what is and is not "moral" according to some arbitrary interpretation of the Bible or other religious document, and then insist that their minions follow suit).
