Archdiocese of Brownsville Runs 1/2 Page in McAllen Monitor
McAllen Monitor ^ | October 10, 2004 | Archdiocese of Brownsville

Posted on 10/10/2004 1:39:14 PM PDT by Toonces T. Cat

The Archdiocese of Brownsville, Texas is running a half-page ad titled, "Abortion is the Issue" in the Sunday edition of the McAllen Monitor. I suspect that it is also running in the Brownsville Herald as well, but I do not a have a copy in hand to veryify that. It is a staggeringly effective indictment of the Kerry position on abortion and fetal stem cell research.

I have scanned the ad and made a very clear and readable 800x600 jpeg that I would love to post in this thread, but I have nowhere to host it. I cannot use a university server for this purpose or I would be walking on my own use policy. If someone would like to volunteer for the job, I can email the file to you. I would be highly appreciative if someone would step up to the plate for this one...It's only 128kb in size.

Thanks!

I'm printing this out to take to someone who volunteers in my church office and said she was voting for Kerry.

I'm sure they meant well, but I'm afraid that ad doesn't sufficiently tie the "issue" to the coming election.

Not well enough, that is, for the average voter to figure it out.
It should have been much more explicit - if they did in fact intend to influence voters in the presidnetial race.

Wonderful! Thanks to both of you.

Would that all the Catholic Bishops had the fortitude to do this. On the Sunday before Election Day.
