"I will believe you are a serious pro lifer, when you stop paying taxes.
Until then, you are just as responsible as the one who pays, as are the ones who obey the law and allow choice"

Uhh, does that include sales tax, property tax, gas tax, income tax, tacks tax??

You can't be serious. If you were, then only a person who lives OUTSIDE the US could be pro-life

By the way, two thousand years ago, a certain man was hit up with just such a question. His answer was rather cool. He asked whose face was on the coin? why, Ceasar's. Well, then, he said, render to Ceasar what is Ceasar's and to God what is God's.

Now THAT answer might well apply here--was Ceasar doing anything that the monotheistic Jews might have hated? yes. In the same manner, are our governments doing things that we pro-lifers hate? yes.

which was my point.
Arnold is just in support of the law of the land. As is Ashcroft, Bush and the rest of us.. NOBODY, including arnold is a baby killer on our side... we uphold the law, pay our taxes and work for change within the current system.
Arnold is for parental notification, and against partial birth... which is the best we can do in California until the HEARTS of the MAJORITY are changed.

ARnold is NOT a baby killer. Never hurt a child in his life, that I know of.

the baby killer rhetoric is just that rhetoric.

The Scriptural story was Jesus using His sense of humor to turn aside the usual gang of pretentious wise guys, trying to reschedule His plans.

Granted that we cannot live here and avoid all taxes, we ought to do what we can.

What we cannot do is vote for pro-aborts, not even as the evil of two lessers or was that the lesser of two evils because to do so makes the voter a pro-abort too and morally complicit in every subsequent abortion. That is what the Vatican says to this Catholic. If you disagree, tell Pope JP II or Cardinal Ratzinger. I, for one, can do without that burden even if it means a few more high tax years for Gollyvornia (especially since Arnold won't lower the taxes any more than will Cruz or Doofus).

An important thing to consider is whether the government is doing things that God hates.
