At MoralAccountability.com a group 19 of professors, including 10 from Catholic universities and colleges, are urging those “self-identified pro-life and pro-marriage Catholics and Evangelicals who helped put Barack Obama into a position to accomplish his goals” to join in resisting the assaults of the Obama administration on human life and the dignity of marriage. “Actions have consequences,” state the professors in Moral Accountability: An Open Letter, “and the actions of these intellectuals and activists will have consequences that are all too easy to predict.” The professors write: “Our goal is to help ensure that never again will good intentions conspire with shoddy reasoning and wishful thinking to compromise the rights of the weakest and more vulnerable members of our community and to undermine the institution of marriage.” They continue, “we invite those Catholics and Evangelicals who joined with Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and similar organizations in supporting Obama to join us now in repelling the attacks that will be launched against life and marriage by this administration.” The following Catholic university professors are among those who signed the open letter:
