I would have you do nothing else ... you're the perfect example of the ONLY sort of effective action there is.

And it's your dedication in this regard which informs you -- better than most Catholics -- of the true nature of the allegedly "pro-life" GOP AND Catholic Church.

I think it's a pity that all those who wish to "reduce" abortions by clinging to whatever appears rational in the way of hard and fast exceptions to the rule where Human Life's concerned simply followed those convictions through on a regular basis.

For example, it makes perfect sense that BOTH secular and Catholic hospitals and medical schools MUST require ALL physicians to perform abortions. If the exception exists in any defensible fashion, it clearly must be supported at all times.

It is dead wrong to support it strictly politically but not in practice.

In fact, I think it would go a long way toward engendering real respect for the "compromises" of the Pro-Lifers if they took the front seat where requiring all doctors to be prepared for "some" abortions and thus evidenced their genuine ability to compromise the issue so long as "most" abortions were deemed morally illegitimate.

Likewise, it's absolutely illogical for the Pro-lifers to pretend there should be ANY restrictions on manufacturing embryos (cloned or otherwise) for ANY purpose whatsoever so long as those lives are terminated within the window of statutory Non-Personhood our Pro-Life President established with his somewhat limited human experimentation on stem cells provided to him "already killed" by the private sector who's intensely interested in keeping it a Clean Hands operation.
