Ditto that!
Check the second link in the list above for a side by side comparison from Bush/Cheney website.
Of course not (but you knew that already). PBA's are a matter of the mother's convenience, not her health.
I'm no doctor but I could imagine there may be women who are on the verge of stroke, or hemorrhage, or whatever, that MAY need some emergency delivery of the fetus before term.
There are such things as Caesarians for such emergencies.
Most Catholics know that Kerry is a CINO.
We have to keep educating some of the other voters out there who don't know about FR and all the other news we get here!

Leaving partisanship out of this, I have one genuine reply to any Catholic in turmoil on how to vote.
Pray.
Ask God to make His will known to you.
Seems simple, but too many never consider this option.
All I can figure out would be some severe drop in blood pressure. But I'm not a medical person at all.
You got it!
Many of my Catholic friends are pro-Kerry, and some of them made their decision based on how "well spoken" he was in the debates. His stand on partial birth abortion isn't even considered. Go figure.
This Catholic is voting for Bush. My daughter and her forty-two sisters are also voting for Bush.
That said, on swirling in my little mind, as a result of topics on several different threads..I was wondering, under Kerry's 100 Day Plan/National Service- One year mandatory service for High School Children.
What about homeschoolers? or children in private schools?
What if they assign you to some service that goes against your religious beliefs, or you oppose on moral grounds?
An example might be, "Suzie, you're assigned to help at an after school program for at risk kids", and what if one of the things they teach the at risk kids is contraceptive use, then what happens?
I was thinking the same thing.
I know the Catholic church tries to support women who become pregnant with an unwanted baby. It isn't about being judgmental, it's about showing that there is an alternative to the brutal practice of abortion. There are groups willing and ready to help women who find themselves trapped by either bad choices or a violent circumstance. I embrace W's hope that we can try to do more for these women. It will require a cultural change and that will take lots of prayer and some doing. W makes it sound like it's not totally impossible. I am not sure any President has tried to pull so much hope into the abortion picture.
How about yout daughter getting the information from Priest for Life and giving it to her Youth Leader.
I had a secretary at the church tell me the same thing -- that Bush was killing young men in Iraq.
I looked her straight in the eye and said, "The abortion that Mr. Kerry supports kills 4,000 babies every day. I haven't heard any death reports from any war with those numbers, have you?"
She was speechless.
Of course, then, I told her that any vote for Kerry had strong implications toward her receiving Communion, because she would be supporting abortion. (See the Catechism link above.)
Very well said. Thank you.
**But then, neither is Kerry.**
So right, sir!
Ro 14:12,13
Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more.
But judge this rather, that you put not a stumbling block
or a scandal in your brother's way.
What kind of man can within the span of a single sentence
misquote scripture, commit heresy, and scandalize with a tone
the sins of another to the entire planet for political gain?
KERRY: "We're all God's children, Bob. And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as."
Romans 9:8
That is, They which are the children of the flesh,
these are not the children of God:
but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Ec 7:30
Only this I have found, that GOD MADE man right, and he hath entangled himself with an infinity of questions. Who is as the wise man? and who hath known the resolution of the word?
No serious Catholic can possibly vote for Kerry. We Catholics know that "Catholics" like Kerry, Kennedy, Daschle, and Pelosi, all of whom want the government to pay for abortions,are frauds and actually anti-Catholic.
I would like to ask Senator Kerry if he thinks the aborted children are all God's children too?
And Check out Priests for Life.
