What are you 2 talking about…making assumptions again? I was referring to the naming of political candidates, etc. No need to jump.
It’s just about making unkind remarks as if they were whispering in school about somebody, but in this case, knowing that sooner or later you’ll read it and feel like everybody doesn’t like you. I just ignore it.

Maybe its a factor of age. I dunno. Hard to know how young some of these folks are. Thats a difficulty with online stuff. Age is relevant to what is understood…and of course maturity.
 
Wow, what right turn did you take? How do you get from what I said to there? :eek:
I am still wondering how you rationalize supporting people who aid and abet those who chop our children into little pieces and throw them out with the garbage. Not only do you support then but you seem to take great delight in the prospect that they may take the presidency. Are these dismembered children collateral damage?

Which is why some people didn’t understand.😛
 
And what prolife or anti-abortion measures did Clinton get accomplished? There were none at all. None. If, indeed, abortions went down during the Clinton years, it certainly wasn’t because of anything Clinton did. No cause/effect relationship.

The whole issue is going to be decided by the next one or two appointments to the Supreme Court. Everyone knows that. One the ONLY prolife thing the Supremes have done is approve a ban on partial birth abortion. And that only happened because Anthony Kennedy joined Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito, the last two being Bush appointees, in approving the ban.

Now, Ginsberg was appointed by Clinton and, of course, voted against any limitation on partial-birth abortion, which is infanticide, really. She also favors lowering the age of sexual consent (both hetero and homosexual) to 12.

So, when you cast your vote in November, don’t kid yourself as to what you’re voting for. I don’t expect any of those on here who want a pro-abortion administration to admit that’s their motivation, and I’m sure you won’t. But you ought to at least admit it to yourself that you intend to cast your vote in favor of killing the unborn. You’re going to live with that vote for a long time, so think it out.
Well, using that logic, anyone who voted in favor of Reagan (who appointed a pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice) and Bush 41 (who did likewise), was voting in favor of killing the unborn. Those who don’t agree shouldn’t “kid themselves.” This is true, even if they may have not admitted to themselves that they wanted a pro-abortion administration.

But you “aide and abet” attrocities yourself. The Princes of the Church specifically identified Saipan, an American protectorate as a dire situation of modern slavery, human trafficing, and widespread forced abortions. The stench of the Abromof scandal, with greed, money, perks, and prostitutes, reaches very high in the GOP indeed.

Or how about euthanasia? Political theatre with Terri S. notwithstanding, a GOP congress and GOP president made it easier for the healthcare industry to deny even hydration and nutrition on the basis on an inability to pay. The church is clear, this is direct euthanasia.

This does not even go into other issues, like a devotion to corporate greed that allows lead covered toys to flow into the hands of our children or the giving of weapons to extremists who persecute fellow Christians, or even the morality of preemptive war.

You can (and do) throw out a lot of moral relativism. At least I’m not voting for… But Jesus condemns such behavior multiple times in the Gospels.

More disconcerting, you have previously claimed that all good progress on important Catholic issues flows from the GOP. But you have a letter wrong. Power and good always flow from God. Claiming earthly credit or attempting to elevate an earthly construct to the divine are both grave sins.

I really don’t think I have to explain myself to you. I’ve done so in the past. That you do not accept that is clear. Others have clearly stated as well that your arguments vis a vis the Democratic candidates is unfair. Others have also pointed out, including me that Republicans say a lot, and do mostly nothing. I have not found life under Republicans particulary a good thing and that seems to be the case of 70% of the electorate according to the last poll. I do not consider that anything significant will occur on this issue of abortion regardless of who wins. So save your abject hatred for someone else please.

Spirit,

That state show why noting will happen on the abortion issue.
Nor any other for that matter. The people of the country do not vote the issues and do not hold the candidates accountable for the positions that they have taken in getting elected. On an earlier post it was notes the Both Reagan and Bush 1 appointed pro life candidates to the Supreme Court It is my understanding that that was not their stance prior to being appointed.

There are issue that we must all consider when we go to vote I believe that the life issue is number one. I would not presume to try and tell anyone who they should vote for as that is there right as an American to vote for the person of their choice. I will point out that if the person has taken a pro choice stance that that person should not really be being looked to as a possible person to vote for. And If I’m correct that is also the Churches stance, If I’m wrong on that please show me.

As for trying to justify voting for a Dem or a Rep Based on the actions of members of either party I can give you example of why you should not vote for either party.

I will state again You must vote the person not the party.

Peace in the Lord

You wont answer becuase to do so you would have to admit the horror you support. Its much easier to talk about choice and reproductive freedom rather than face the fact you are supporting those who aid and abet the butchering of our children. In fact you goal is to put into office not only those who support this abject evil but want to force us to pay for it. Animals in slaughter houses are disposed more humanely than the 1.2 million annaul victims of “choice” So go ahead and refuse to answer and continue to act in righteous indignation whan one dares to point out the reality of your positions. They’ll be pleny of “catholics” to shout amen and pat you on the back-meanwhile the children continue to die.

If it is indeed the declaration of Holy Mother Church that “if the person has taken a pro choice stance that that person should not really be being looked to as a possible person to vote for,” then the Church should clearly and forcefully articulate that, including whether or not such a vote would constitute a mortal sin. The Church should also call upon any Catholic who has voted for a pro-abortion candidate to seek forgiveness for that vote, and promise to never do so again. The Church should tell any Catholics who plan to vote for any pro-abortion candidate to leave the Church immediately.

If the Church, which is to say the Bishops, had done their duty at the outset, abortion would not be the lucerative industry it is today.

And how would you know? And who would the enforcer be? Seems like it would be better to keep one’s vote to themselves to keep from burning at the stake of the “holier than thou”.

Just my thoughts.

What suprises me is why anyone would need the Church to tell them its wrong to vote for a pro-abortion canidate? At any rate they have made it quite clear except for those who politcs before faith.

If one visits the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC you can see a movie showing Germans Citizens of a village coming out of nearby camp after world war II. Eisenhauer was so angry at the excuse they gave that they didnt know what was going on that he forced them to tour the camp. You should see the look of horror and shame on ther faces as they come up. After we have won the battle to end abortion those who rationalized supporting it will be like those villagers-claiming they realy didnt know what was going on all the while recoiling in shame at what they helped bring about.

They obviously have not made it quite clear, as tens of millions of American Catholics have voted for pro-abortion candidates. Perhaps some of you on this board who have posited that it is gravely sinful to make a vote for a pro-abortion candidate should stand outside your churches after each of the masses and state clearly, “If you vote for X, Y, or Z (pro-abortion candidates) you are commiting a grave sin and should not consider yourself Catholic.” Perhaps then they would get the message, and we can get tens of millions of Catholic to leave communion with the Church, which is where many of those on this post seem to think they belong.

Most Catholics who vote for pro-abortion canidates not only share that with you but tell you how it is the right thing to do.

Now bob, I thought you knew me better than that. No one tells me who to vote for. As you know I never vote a straight ticket and I am a registered independent. Extremist politics are a real turn off IMHO. Political Parties don’t influence me…the issues that are near and dear to my heart do. I will listen to debates here on CAF and weigh the issues against the candidates, but party doesn’t influence me at all, as both have proven to be a disappointment over all.
