Tax Abuse by the Christian Right: Catholic Edition

Catholics for a Free Choice has filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service alleging abuse of the 501(c)(3) tax status of Priests for Life, a militant antiabortion group headed by Fr. Frank Pavone.

The action comes as the 2006 campaign season heats up -- and tax abuse by tax-exempt organizations, particularly those of the religious right, are becoming a bigger issue. After years of controversy, last Februrary the IRS announced a major education and enforcement program. The IRS sought to make the matter as plain and simple as possible:
"...all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."

*In a press release today, Catholics for a Free Choice, declared that Priests for Life, "has issued a direct challenge to the Internal Revenue Service and started recruiting "volunteers who want to do some concrete work to elect pro-life candidates in 2006.

Let them make whatever claim they want - these bastards are just another Reichwing political party and lobby group combined. It's is time to treat them like the tax evaders they actually are and frog march them into the courts.

1. Fr. Frank Pavone and the Priests for Life were very visible in the

Terri Schiavo thing.

2. Thought I recognizes that name.

I thought the Priests for Life were the group he formed to continue the harassment on a much larger scale.

3. pavone and PFL -

(more accurately referred to as "priests for lies") leaves his evil mark on a number of issues.

If you want a little more background on this hatemonger you'll find a start - HERE -

*While PFL is focused on the mobilization of priests for increased antiabortion activism, this effort ultimately involves the full range of conservative Catholic positions on such related matters as reproductive rights, homosexuality, euthanasia, stem cell research, and sexuality education. Pavone explains that "abortion is the intersection of many issues and many dimensions of personal and societal life." DeStefano adds that "Priests for Life is part of the Church. We may be smaller than some other organizations...but we are really much larger in terms of our mission and our scope."

Those large trucks covered in the phony pictures that constitute fetal porn, (and lead to accidents on the highway) and similar fetal porn displays at various colleges and universities, are also a part of the PFL mission. Called the Genocide Awareness Project they claim abortion is a form of genocide.

I must explain what I mean when I say the pictures are phony because Pavone has threatened lawsuits against anybody who makes such a claim. Those pictures aren't what they are claimed to be. Most "aborted fetuses" in photos shown by anti-choicers are either spontaneously aborted (miscarried) fetuses or stillborn babies. They do not represent the majority of abortions in the USA which are performed before the 12th week and constitute about 35ml of bloody pulp.

Since a first-trimester suction abortion shreds the soft, jelly-like tissue of the embryo/fetus and endometrium, there is nothing to photograph in such cases. A midtrimester surgical abortion does produce fetal parts, which are treated like plutonium under today's laws regarding the disposal of "potentially infectious materials" containing possible human bloodborne pathogens (OSHA regulations). They are not available for casual photography.

Of course the main reason the pictures are phony is that it is impossible to think of human abortion without thinking of the woman involved; and the deliberate removal of the woman in all of their pictures constitutes deliberate deception because it is intended to mislead the viewer into forgetting that she is the only person involved in the pregnancy.
