"Democracy succeeds only to the extent that it is based on truth and a correct understanding of the human person. Catholic involvement in political life cannot compromise on this principle," he said.

He needs to take the same approach in the United States.

anyone remember the days when Americans were afraid to elect a Catholic as President because the pope would be running the country? I guess times have changed.

I don't like this source.
Every time I see something from them I find that
they twist the truth in little ways to fit their agenda.
Here the headline says 'Pro-Abortion Laws'.
There are no 'pro-abortion laws'.

What there has been is a number of challenges to anti-abortion laws in the courts
that have succeeded on constitutional grounds as interpreted by liberal justices.

Here's a review of 'Abortion Law' up to 1997...
http://www.duhaime.org/family/ca-abor.aspx

A quote from that link..."Therefore, since the Mortgentaler decision, there is no Canadian criminal law which addresses abortion"

Here's a site with a timeline of the abortion issue in Canada...http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/abortion/

Personally I would like to see an end to public funding of abortion.
There is no way my or other people's money should be taken at gun point
to be used for what we believe in essence to be murder.

From the above link...
"May 18, 2006: Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton, the last hospital in New Brunswick to perform publicly funded abortions, announces it will suspend the service as of July 1, citing workload problems. New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that refuses to pay for abortions performed in clinics, despite the 1988 Supreme Court of Canada ruling."

I believe that until we can rid the Supreme Court of Liberal appointed justices,
Harper is right in not tackling the issue legally at this time.

In the interim the government should express and support the pro-life philosophy
