**I urge you to consider for the Court qualified jurists who, pre-eminently, support the protection of human life from conception to natural death, especially of those who are unborn, disabled, or terminally ill.**

I'm impressed with this. What do all of you think?

Guess he had to get his two cents in, huh?

My dear Salvation, I don't think we have to worry about President Bush on this one. I firmly believe he would rather be impeached for whatever, rather than go against his word regarding being pro life. He displays such strong convictions regarding his beliefs. He is such a strong, powerful man. (md)

All induced abortion is homicide.

It's good Bishop Skylstad has clearly established the Catholic expectations for a fair and competent jurist, as I've seen at least one heterodox article that has tried to muddy the waters by claiming that the true Catholic concerns on other legal issues such as gun control and the environment outweigh our concerns about abortion.
