| Tim,Your logic is part of what keeps abortion legal in this country and pro-abortion "catholic" politicians in power. You have stretched the truth about the teaching of the church on the importance of other issues compared to abortion. The Church has been very clear on this issue especially lately.Without the right to life we have nothing and no other right is safe. 3700 babies are killed in America EVERY SINGLE DAY! Voting for a candidate like Obama who supports abortion on demand while another candidate like McCain has a long pro-life voting record is inexcusable. If Catholics voted in line with the teachings of the church abortion would end in this country tomorrow. May God have mercy on us especially those catholic's who support pro-abortion politicians (and encourage others to do so) in defiance of Christ and His Holy Church. |

| Tim, as I was watching this, I regretted that your video cut out abruptly at the end. I missed the conclusion I believe you must have appended there, that Obama pledged to Planned Parenthood that the first thing he would do as President is sign the Freedom Of Choice Act into law, which would remove every single federal, state, and local restriction on abortion, and that every Justice he would appoint to the Supreme Court would reaffirm and uphold Roe. The video of that speech with all those promises comes right up on YouTube under >Obama abortion< for all to see. In fact, I really see no way a Catholic who wants to see abortion stopped can vote for Obama and against McCain/Palin.Regarding these ancillary issues you've raised, I'm sure you're aware that McCain is long outspoken against torture, that Obama wants to increase the war -- sorry, I mean WAR -- effort in Afghanistan, spread it into Pakistan, and schedule a pullout of Iraq in which the resultant anarchy would undoubtedly breed a widespread sectarian WAR for the civilians to contend with, unprotected.Rest assured that McCain is far from an opponent of social spending and amnesty for illegals, which are a couple more priorities of your political network over at Vote the Common Good. If expectant mothers need government aid, a McCain administration would not cut the legs out from under them. But I think you already knew that.Furthermore, let me turn your chain of reasoning back at you for your own consideration. You've stated here (I paraphrase), first, that it's wrong to vote anti-abortion as a single issue, and then you define points "Culture of Life" in a way that weighs favorably toward the Democratic Party platform. Suppose I ask you instead to cast aside the liberal political principles you value because this wholesale slaughter of unborn human beings will be solidified into law (FOCA) and prolonged by his USSC appointees.To draw a parallel with the immigration debate, the popular approach to that problem is to secure the borders first and THEN detail a path to citizenship for the ones we have here. In a similar fashion, let me submit that we need to prioritize securing the USSC with another prolife justice or two, which will likely happen THIS President's term of office, then work out the rest of the agenda. To do otherwise (e.g., vote for Obama) is to prioritize mere political socio-economic policy preferences over saving millions of innocent lives every year. |
