I will ask again: Which part of non-negotiable is not clear?

Sadly, sometimes there is no good choice. When we are taught that Fetal Stem Cell Research is a non-negotiable issue, how can we set it aside and say that it is?

This is something I have struggled greatly with. I do not even pretend to have the answers, but I know that choosing one great wrong over the other is never the correct thing to do.

Your reading too much into this. Read my reply in #12

McCain isn't in favor or aborting embryos for harvesting cells or for other reasons. He is in favor of using already dead embryonic cells if they will do any good. Same as using cells from your body when you have died.

Last week after scripture study a group of us hung around to shoot the breeze.

We were talking about the presidential election. One person said that they were going to vote for Obama.

Our priest became very upset telling him about Obama's record on life issues.

When she mentioned McCain's record on stem cell research, he told her given the two records, the choice was clear.

To answer your question I refer you to the editorial in the3/2/08 editon of the Weekly Catholic Newspaper which endorses McCain over Obama on the pro-life issues. That same editorial goes on to say if Obama is elected we will get:2 more Supreme Court justices who consider abortion a right
federally funded abortion on demand
abortion in military hospitals
federally funded abortion overseas
vicious regulatory attacks on pro-life doctors,nurses and clinics
eforts to reclassify churches and pro-life activities threatening their tax-exempt status
“the Freedom of Choice Act” a federal law mandating abor
tion on demand in every state
the end of abstinence education
THE CHICE FOR MCCAIN IS VERY CLEAR

My God, the difference is like day and night, good and evil!
Ask your priest for counseling, whatever, BUT dont Vote to allow the Evil of Obama:-)PLEASE!

When there are but two choices, the Church teaches that we choose that person who will cause the least evil. Just because McCain thinks that embryonic stem cell research is OK, I haven't heard him talking about putting tax money into the program. And this is an issue on which he could be persuaded, if shown enough science to bolster our point that using embryonic cells are not better than using adult stem cells.

If we stay home because McCain supports embryonic stem cell research, we are, by our actions ALLOWING more babies to be killed. If Obama wins, not only will he support tax money for Embryonic stem cell research, he'll also push for tax payer funded abortions, and he'll appoint extremely liberal Justices to the Supreme Court who will wipe out ANY gains we've made over the last 15 years.
