Let me know if you want on or off my New York ping list.
From "Abortion and The Conscience of a Nation" (1983), by President Ronald Reagan.
I'm certain that the NYT has come down equally hard on Kerry. Oh? They haven't? Hmmmm.
I do think the world of Rudy, but I have to agree with this article. One can't say that Kerry should not receive communion but we will name a wing after another pro-abortionist. Consistancy is called for.
The Republican party has more room in it for people that are different on this view, but the Catholic church should not.
I thought you folks might find this interesting.
The Democrats are completely off message. Here in this article they're attacking both Giuliani and the Catholic church. Elsewhere they're attacking Zell Miller, Dick Cheney, and President Bush. They're complaining about healthcare, jobs, and who served 35 years ago back in some war called "Vietnam" that half of today's population doesn't even remember.
They are clearly spooked, reeling backwards, and rudderless at the moment.
Life is good.

Thanks for the links.
God will be the final judge of all of us for our deeds and opinions. For now, NYC should be the judge of what they want to name their hospital. IMHO, I would not be surprised to see miracles performed there.
But, it's a Catholic Hospital ...
Also, Divorce does not necesarilly make a catholic not eligible for communion, but it is one of the drivers for the mass number of anullments. And few divorce Catholics, although made to feel like they are second class citizens, continue to receive communion .... the church is full of rediculous rules which are optionally enforced, and mostly ignored, which makes the rules look foolish.
That is true, and that being said, let them break the rules for someone like Rudy whose deeds and virtues probably far outweight any of his sins against the church.
I personally don't understand how an intelligent person like him can agree with killing babies and that alone will lose him millions of his party votes if he elects to run for national office.

Sorry, but I can't forgive someone who agrees with killing babies and it's not a sin against the church but against humanity.
Simple: have the Church ask Rudy to change his views.
That would be harder than having him change his views on the Second Amendment.
I guess Rudy will have to take his chance with God and voters collectively judging him. One thing you will find with Rudy, there will be no flip flopping just to please you. He might negotiate, but won't change his opinion just for a vote.
Rudy Giuliani is personally opposed to abortion. I know that draws scorn from some, but the truth is that we needed him desperately to be our mayor from 1994 to 2002, and the only way he could do that was to be "pro-choice."
