Nice photoshopping. It's irksome to see LIEberman in that groups since he deceived CT voters about abortion in his first Senate bid.

Sept 2000 news accounts posted on FR say Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is a staunch supporter of abortion rights now, and even voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion (sex separate times), but Catholic leaders in Connecticut remember another Joe Lieberman.

He called on the state's archbishop with a pro-life pledge 12 years ago....and even told pro-life leaders he would have voted to confirm Judge Robert Bork for the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Joe was very liberal, like Weicker, but we had a poll on abortion that showed which way the wind was blowing," says Daniel Cosgrove, then the Democratic town chairman in Branford, Mr. Lieberman's hometown.

The poll showed anti-abortion sentiment outweighed pro-choice views in urban areas throughout Connecticut. "In the Waterbury area, it was more than any, 12,000 [more] against," Mr. Cosgrove says.

Records of a meeting between Mr. Lieberman and top officials of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) two months after the 1988 election quote Mr. Lieberman as saying he "thinks there are too many abortions," and promising he would not "apply a litmus test" against pro-life judicial nominees.....the 1988 meeting where Mr. Lieberman "expressed himself as coming from a tradition in support of life, not in favor of abortion on demand."

"He expressed himself against abortion, all suicide, and euthanasia. His position on that definitely was well received by the archbishop and priests," Father Berry says.

Thanks. It's just sad that so many people that SEEM to have some private misgivings about abortion -- Lieberman for certain...and a lot of others who in their hearts know right from wrong...care more about the money and votes of PP and its patrons to further their careers--than the screams of babies being turned into bloody frappuccino.
