In races across the country and at diverse levels of government, voters once again demonstrated the strength of the pro-life movement in America on Election Day 2004.
Despite being outspent (as usual) by powerful pro-abortion political groups, the pro-life movement once again demonstrated that it has something the pro-abortion movement has never had: the support of the people!
Priests for Life wants to thank the many groups and individuals who gave so much time, effort, and sacrifice to elect pro-life candidates.
Of particular note is the Catholic vote in the 2004 election: Catholics voted for President Bush over Senator Kerry by 51 to 48. That is a 4 percent gain over 2000. Among regular Mass-attending Catholics, votes went to President Bush by a 55-44 percent margin.
Now it becomes our task to work with these newly-elected leaders to bring about continued advances in the protection of the unborn. The legislative tasks ahead are painstaking and slow, and require immense patience. We are committed to working with each of you, so that with the same dedication and persistence we have all shown during the elections, we may translate electoral victories into legislative victories!
-- Fr. Frank Pavone
*Our Lord has given us 4 more years to correct our problems. Let us hope we are successful*
Already, the slow beat on the drum has begun for Hillary Clinton. The Republicans must correct the problems and line up a solid man of principle, with a scrupulously clean record. You KNOW the next election may very well result in the Hildebeast, rising to power.
We should also thank all of the faithful Catholic families in America and their fellow Christians among Evangelical Protestants for defending innocent life.
Thank you, St. Jude, for prayers answered.
We should all continue to work hard to make the Catholic Church in America a vital line of defense of civilization as it should be. We need moral and spiritual communities in America to present viable alternatives to the culture of death.
