Great more blatant anti-Catholic rhetoric from the left! Keep it up!
On the abortion matter, as it relates to Roberts' Catholic faith, the church teaches that Roberts and his wife MAY NOT have an abortion. If they did, they would be guilty of a serious mortal sin and would face excommunication. The legal controversy over abortion with Roe vs. Wade does not have to do with whether it is a mortal sin in Catholic teaching. It has to do with whether it is an issue the courts should decide or whether it falls to the jurisdiction of the states to determine what if any legal penalties should be brought against abortionists and those who have abortions. The legal controversy is quite different from the moral/theological one in Catholic teaching.
Once again Christopher Hitchens has another anti-Catholic psychotic in public.
At the very least, Roberts should be asked the same question again, under oath, at his confirmation.
Gee, who would that "oath" be to? Mickey Mouse, Dumbo, or in Hitchens' case, the impersonal and totally meaningless dialectics of history? [irony, sarcasm] What the heck does an anti-Christian atheist care whether it is "under oath" or not? He wins a Twilight Zone Award for that one.
