Misguided Politician of the Week: Governor Dannel P. Malloy

Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
Won election in 2010, up for re-election 2014

Though the phrase 'even a broken clock is right twice a day' has been proven to be true time and time again, when it comes to CINO politicians, their brokenness is overwhelming. If he were a clock, Gov. Dannel P Malloy is broken to the extent that only Jesus can repair. There are some issues which are left to individual conscience, and there are some that are non-negotiable. Governor Malloy holds views completely incompatible with Catholicism. I pray that Gov. Malloy will someday see his separation from God, and seek reconciliation with the Church he left behind.

Gov. Malloy is supportive of abortion, stem-cell research (does not differentiate between adult stem-cell and embryonic stem-cell), and same sex "marriage." 

Quotes:

Stem Cell Research: "As Governor I will expand state investment in stem cell research and other cutting edge bio-medical fields; these investments directly generate high-quality, high-skill jobs and strengthen competitiveness in this critical field." Source

On the anniversary of SCOTUS ruling on Roe v. Wade: "A woman's right to control her own reproductive health care--her own body--is not and should not be a question for politicians," said Governor Malloy. "I've always been a strong supporter of a woman's right to choose, and the anniversary of Roe v. Wade certainly marks a milestone. That said, across this country we are witnessing a tremendous erosion of a woman's access to quality healthcare. Through defunding and the egregiously burdensome regulation of fundamental healthcare services, women are being denied their rights to control their own bodies and their futures. Just as we recognize how far we've come in 40 years, we also recognize how far we have to go."

"This anniversary is a reminder that the fight for a woman's right to choose is as crucial today as it was four decades ago--despite all the gains we have made over the years, the battle is not yet over," said Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman. "We are fortunate that Connecticut has a long tradition of being a leader on this issue, and that the Obama administration is clearly on the side of choice. But we must continue our commitment to keep and strengthen this important freedom--no matter who is in the White House." Source
