I have been voting pro-life since 1980 and I have been constantly frustrated by the lack of real progress in this concern. So during the 2000 election campaign I was shocked to read in New York magazine about the former college roomate of GW Bush who was running the campaign in New York for GW. And guess what, he was a Democrat! And he was pro-choice! They quoted him as saying that he wasn't worrried about George doing anything about Roe.

And therein lies the rub. Good Catholics vote pro-choice, why not they practice contraception. It all comes down to economics. I agree with Chesterton and what he said about Capitalism as it is practiced. It is the emeny of the family.

So, who do you suppose was lying......this Democrat NY guy, or the President, Chuck Colson and Jerry Falwell?

I'm guessing the NY Dem, because right now, the pro abortion folks are scared to death about the future of Roe v. Wade.......and with good reason.

Thanks Richard. Yes indeed, it's EXTREMLY frustrating.

Two points:

"They quoted him as saying that he wasn't worried about George doing anything about Roe."

That would be confirmed by Ari Fleshier who said-at a press conference-when he was the spokesman that W is "personally against" abortion" but will not be specifically fighting it as Prez.

Point two: Chesterton, in addition, condemned contraception as wicked and an enemy of the family.

Capitalism as it is practiced. It is the enemy of the family.

Chesterton was nearly always right, wasn't he. Think of nursing homes today. People will put aging parents in nursing homes to avoid the inconvenience of caring for them in their own homes. Also, they be able to get government to pay for the nursing home expenses, but they would be out-of-pocket for some of the expenses if the infirmed were kept at home with the Baby Boomers.

Similarly, some abort for "financial" reasons, not realizing that the child in the womb could become a financ ial wizard who would make the whole family "rich" in money if not in grace.
