   The new doctrine implied by Archbishop Raymond Burke's recent public   
   statements is indeed curious, though it is regrettably not unprecedented.   
   Under this doctrine there seem to be two categories of the unborn, and they   
   deserve completely different accounting in the moral sphere.   
      
   One class of the unborn deserves very little recognition, and can apparently   
   be killed wholesale without much concern.  Into this first class fall, for   
   example, the unborn victims of war, the countless unborn who will die   
   directly as a result of policies originating from the current   
   administration's suppression of the evidence of global warming, those   
   unborn poor who need quality healthcare, among other groups too numerous to   
   mention here.  Lest we forget, there are many of the born in similar groups   
   who are dieing each day.   
      
   The other class of unborn is so especially deserving of our protection,   
   however, that even though the President has no direct legal authority to   
   protect them, the mere announcement of his opposition to a legal precedent   
   enjoins us to put all other concerns out of mind, and cast our vote, as   
   unthinking automatons, to continue the slaughter of those unborn in the   
   first class.   
      
   Therefore I, being uneducated by only 2 degrees from Jesuit Universities,   
   must ask Raymond Burke to clarify, with some precision, what are those   
   characteristics of the first class of the unborn that make them so   
   undeserving of protection and conversely makes those in the second class so   
   especially deserving of our protection?  This question deeply vexes me.   
      
   Regards,
