He obviously does not consider it as grave an issue as this forum, but he has not taken any actions to significantly expand abortion. In fact, in the past he has taken actions which back up his words, e.g. the Prevention First Act.
By executive order, he rescinded the Mexico City Policy, allowing taxpayer funds to pay for abortions overseas
Both parties have been in and out of power several times since abortion was made legal. Making it into a partisan issue does not make sense. Clearly neither side is willing to take any meaningful steps to make it illegal.

The bill does not exclude abortion from insurance coverage, and is therefore a bad bill. Then if you add in “end of life issues” (read: euthanasia) this bill should not be supported by any Catholic
You are wrong. Every single restriction on abortion in the last 35 years has come via the Republican Party. Every single one of them has come despite fierce oppostition from the Democrat party. Because of the last election we are for the first time in 8 years paying for abortions and forced sterilizations overseas. You simply can not dismiss this as neither party taking meaningful steps
If abortion funding is not in the health care bill why did the Democrat party bypass Senate procedures to make sure the Stupak Amendment was stripped from the bill? Why did the USCCB and every pro-life organization the country(except the ill namedt Democrarts for life) believe. that funding was in the bill? Why did over 40 democart congressmen declare they would vote against the bill if the Stupak amendment were included in it?
So . in order to be a Catholic one must now not support the two-party system? You do not see that as a threat to democracy?
No one has even inferred that. Before the lagalization of this particular form of infanticide, neither party was pro-abortion, yet it was still a 2 party system. At any rate, democracy is not necessarily the best form of government
Well sure looks like it.
Well, that is not the way it is now.
Wow, you believe that-----that is disconcerting.
Democracy–dependent on the will of the majority of the people, and by extension, the world. Since faithful Christians are in the minority, democracy is not beneficial to Christianity.
In order to be a Catholic one needs to adhere to the teachigs of the Church-it has nothing whatsoever to do with politics.
When researching the facts it would have been helpoful if you researched what the Church teaches. If you found pro-life canidates to be sinful then you were under no obligation to vote for them. That did not mean you could then ignore Church teachings and vote for pro-abortion canidates. On his third day in office Obama released funds to pay for abortions and forced sterlizations overseas. He had told us he was going to do that BEFORE he was elected. Did you “research” that fact before you cast your vote? Not one single member of the Magestrium stated their were proportionate reasons that would allow a Catholic to vote for Obama. 62 Bishops explicitly stated there were not.
I am not sure where you learned your history. The Bill of Rights did not “last 11 years without the Constitution”. The Bill of Rights, the first ten Amendments to the Constitution, by definition, are a part of the Constitution. What are these eleven yeas you are referring to? The Constitution was written in 1787, and took effect in 1788. The Constitution was passed with the understanding that amendments would be added to protect the rights of the citizens. These amendments became known as the Bill of Rights. Seeing as how the US Constitution has been in continuous effect since 1788, and the Biill of Rights came afterward, where are these 11 missing years? Are they hanging out with Nixion’s missing 18 1/2 minutes?
It is possible that you are confusing the Bill of Rights with the Articles of Confederation, which, though suitable for an interim government, could not survive long term. SO next time before you rant based on a historical point, make sure that you know the history.What is ironic is the ONLY people claiming that Obama was the most pro-life canidate in the last election is Catholics trying to rationalize their vote for him… Obama certainly never made that claim. The Platform of the Party he belongs to calls for unrestricred taxpayer funded abortion on demand. Every single pro-abortion organization in the country endorsed him. He has never in his life voted for a bill that would limit abortion in any way. For way too many Catholics Politics trumps Faith everytime.
Who is talking about an indvidual Catholic not following Church teachings. This is about what the govt is doing not the individual.
