Pope Francis denounces 'horror' of abortion

[_Abyssinia]

Pro-choice candidates. The choice is if you want to have an abortion, that’s your business. If you don’t want to have one, that’s your business.

And yes, I’d sooner vote for a pro-choice candidate, especially when the GOP thinks that running candidates like McCain/Palin and Romney/Ryan are wise choices to make.

The thing is, I’m old enough to remember when GOP candidates were sane.

Fr. Stephen F Torraco comments:

1. Is it a mortal sin to vote for a pro-abortion candidate?

Except in the case in which a voter is faced with all pro-abortion candidates (in which case, as explained in question 8 above, he or she strives to determine which of them would cause the let damage in this regard), a candidate that is pro-abortion disqualifies himself from receiving a Catholic’s vote. This is because being pro-abortion cannot simply be placed alongside the candidate’s other positions on Medicare and unemployment, for example; and this is because abortion is intrinsically evil and cannot be morally justified for any reason or set of circumstances. To vote for such a candidate even with the knowledge that the candidate is pro-abortion is to become an accomplice in the moral evil of abortion. If the voter also knows this, then the voter sins mortally.

Baltimore Archbishop: Catholic Voters Can’t Vote for a Candidate Who Stands for an Intrinsic Evil

From the Knights of Columbus annual convention in Anaheim, California, Baltimore archbishop William E. Lori tells me that “this is a big moment for Catholic voters to step back from their party affiliation.”

For Catholic voters in November, Lori advises, “The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances? If that’s the case, a Catholic, regardless of his party affiliation, shouldn’t be voting for such a person.”

“It is horrific even to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day,” he said in part of the speech that addressed the rights of children around the world.

“Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects, but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as unnecessary.”

So, can we expect NARAL to send a “thank you” card again to the Pope?

I’m old enough to remember when the Democrat party had not become the party of death.

The choice we are talking about is allowing people to pay someone to kill their child.You can use as many euphemisms as you want but the end result is still a dead baby.

We’re the Democratic party, not Democrat party. Tell Rush I said hello.

We’re the Democratic party, not Democrat party. Tell Rush I said hello.

Both are derivatives of the word democracy, and therein lies a major part of the problem

Fetuses don’t vote and therefore they don’t figure into the calculations of the party of death, by whichever moniker is eventually decided upon.

The value that a fetus brings to the world is not a primary value for those who vote Democrat.

Even the suffix ‘ic’ plays a greater role in those values than a passionate defense of life in the womb.

Bravo to our earthly spiritual leader!
God cannot look kindly on those who protect those that do not respect human life before and after birth. These are the innocent victims without their own voices. We must speak out for them! I’m going to our state march for life Tuesday and I encourage you to do so also. God bless!
