Spin? Abortion has never been considered the crime of murder. Many takings of human life are not considered murder by the law, and never have been. When the day hopefully comes that Roe is overturned, you'll find little support to so classify it.

The fact you can't spin your way out of is that a state governor has almost no influence on the pro-life issue.

Ritter has always publicly stated he's pro-life and has taken a lot of heat from Democrats about that. I've already told you my doubts about how he might act on those views if he had legislation on his desk not supported by his party, but that's speculation on my part. Archbishop Chaput is not going to deny a practicing Catholic communion over nothing more than a suspicion. This is not at all comparable to the Pelosi situation.

I said taking of an innocent life (which an unborn baby surely is)and it most certainly is murder according to the Catholic Church, which Gov. Ritter professes belong to, which is the point, which is what this thread is all about. Gov. Ritter can say anything he wants, if he does nothing, or "has no agenda" to correct this legally permitted abomination to God with the power and influence he has he is not pro life.

This is not at all comparable to the Pelosi situation.

It's like the former Gov. Cuomo (NY) situation, which was explained in the link.
