Catholics have new reason to rethink abortion politics.

[jheii]

First of all, a disclaimer.

I am not posting this link with the intention of getting people to change or even reconsider their political affiliation.

Also, the author of the article in this link does not, in my view, attempt to persuade people to change their political affliation.

However, based on the responses I received in other threads about who Catholics “can” or “can’t” vote for, I think it’s necessary to examine what it means to be “pro-life.” To be a pro-life Catholic means that you share the view of the Church that abortion is a grave sin and that we should attempt to stop the spread of this practice in our country. Supporting politicians who want to overturn Roe v. Wade is not the only way to do this. The following link illustrates my point:

You have very tactfully stated the case.
I as God to help American Catholics in the difficult dilemma they face in choosing to vote.

The legislature can overturn Roe v Wade because the decision was based on the fact that there is no existing law defining when life begins. If the legislature were to define life as beginning at conception(as it does), then the whole basis for the Roe v Wade decision is gone.

The problem is just getting candidates beyond just stating that they believe in life at conception, but actually legislating their beliefs. That is why we elect them, because we want them to legislate our common beliefs.

Link is entirely too political. Thread closed and link removed.
