Uh, Clint, the definition of religion is that it has absolutes. Any religion. Even the Unitarians believe in the absolute that there are no absolutes.

who personally opposes abortion but has genuine convictions that a blanket anti-abortion law would not work in a pluralistic society...

This portrays such a staggering lack of understanding, it defies any form of logic.

If you believe abortion is wrong because it is the deliberate taking of the life of an innocent (murder), how can you justify not acting to stop it?

Does a moral person really turn their back on injustice?

“McCarthyism” charges always coming from the libtards, who constitute the most grave threat to American liberties this republic has ever faced.

It is unfair that a Catholic presidential nominee – or a Catholic United States senator or member of Congress – who personally opposes abortion but has genuine convictions that a blanket anti-abortion law would not work in a pluralistic society – can be randomly refused communion by any bishop who so decides.

I've said it before. If they don't like the Catholic rules, no one is making them be a member.

So many liberal canards thrown into a short article, like this one:

I have watched closely as Republican strategists like Karl Rove cynically manipulate the issue of abortion in campaign after campaign

The Rove paranoia never quits; even years after he's moved on, the left never does. Even if it were true that Rove cares nothing about the death of the unborn, why would that translate into me not caring? Why would someone else's lack of conscience impel me to discard mine?

Yada yada yada.... you’re still a baby killer.

Evil needs a million excuses. Good requires none.

You’d think that now that we know how right McCarthy usually was the liberals would give it a rest. But McCarthyism is just a word for them now, not an historical example of anything.

One day our side will learn how to use symbolism as effectively.

It should be even easier for us, having the added benefit of being correct.

This fascist should go pull up the Perez Hilton interview on Larry King.

Laura Ingraham played a portion.

He says that her answer SHOULD have been “politically correct”.

END GAME.

The liberal agenda is having a trial already, “are you now or have you ever been a conservative Christian, renounce your faith now and the gold and glory of Miss USA are YOURS!”

Ask the “personally oppose abortion but...” fools to try that argument with slavery.

Both victimized other individuals.

A father is obligated to his children for 18 years.

Why do mothers get to cop out and murder them?

But they don’t personally oppose abortion. Obama is on record saying that he favors it because he doesn’t want his daughters to have to be burdened with a mistake for the rest of their lives.

It goes farther than that: You don't get to be a Catholic just because you are calling yourself one.

Clint Reilly is a sorry bag of excrement!

We get treated to one of his disgusting self-promoting ad-letters just about every day in the CCT. He fairly oozes tyranny from his pores.

Clint needs to read the Bible and pay attention to my tagline. A Christian in office needs to stand up for what is right, not some lilly livered quivery leftist barf.

"Randomly"? BS!

And I take it you guys also think that someone who supports black chattel slavery, though he wouldn't own a slave himself, would also be entitled to receive communion?

Clint Reilly = hideous democrat party troll

No concerns from old Clint on the Obama regime’s demands that all Catholic hospitals abort babies and euthanize.
