As John Allen reports , in July, Rocco Buttiglione announced that his support for laws banning abortion had been a mistake:
Perhaps the most prominent pro-life politician in Europe has said that he won’t support efforts to make abortion illegal, because “God entrusts a child to its mother in such a special way, that to defend the child against the mother is just, but impossible.”
The indefatigable C-FAM followed up this week with an interview , asking Buttiglione to clarify.
In that interview, he says, “There is one point where I was misquoted, or rather, quoted out of context, giving a wrong impression.” But I can’t quite see how he shows that the original impression was wrong. It looks to me that he merely confirms what people thought he said.
Am I wrong?
