So, what would he do differently if he where a pro-abortion candidate?
What... he prefers infanticide?
Is this the tactics of the suck up? The Catholic Church had better tread carefully. Black hole ahead.
Somewhat gullible, isn’t he?
Did they instead focus on the fact he is pro-infanticide?
Disgraceful! The Catholic Church is in deep trouble.
What an idiot. How about that embryo stem cell research executive order, who did that come from?
Prove it and elect a pro-life Supreme Court Justice,
Abortion is MURDER!

The Vatican didn't elect Obozo, America did. I'd say we're in much deeper trouble.
Do you apply the same standards to your income taxes? I ask because (a) the United States government is now in the business of aiding and abetting the murder of children, not merely their sexual abuse -- and is in fact proud of it; and (b) if you want to talk foolish and/or evil, let's just take a look at Congress.
