First of all, you are beginning to sound like the Supremes in Griswold who found a "right to privacy" which does not exist in the Constitution--or like those legislators who find that the Second Amendment applies only to active members of the Reserves, the cops, and themselves.
As they say in Green Bay: Boooschwaaaa.
That letter is clear as can be: MUST REFUSE.
Secondly, you are again playing the "strawman" game.
The case of John Fn Kerry is notorious and well-publicized, as are the cases of State and other Federal legislators. They are either FOR babykilling, or AGIN it.
An EEM who cannot make these distinctions should NEVER have been made an EEM in the first place: another discussion you should have with your Pastor.
What does Dolan have to say? I notice he's not jumping on the "must refuse" bandwagon.
