“Obama has.”

So you are saying that we should draw a distinction between killing unborn and born children?

“No, Arizona is not Texas. We have more conservative gun laws and have taken steps to try to limit illegal immigration.”

Texas hasn’t ceded a quarter of it’s state to Mexico. I’m sure some Arizona folks are wonderful people, but as a whole, you’re doing a terrible job. Texas fought Mexico - on it’s own and won.

Arizona? Never did. Am I supposed to be impressed that you don’t even consider anything south of I-10 to be part of Arizona anymore?

“It doesn’t give Catholics a lot of room to complain that Southern Baptists are evil for using condoms.”

So what you’re saying is that because others sin that means you can sin with impunity? That’s not exactly Christian principles.

Which is the lesser of two evils: someone who allows first trimester abortions, or someone who allows 4TH trimester abortions?

“Texas fought Mexico - on it’s own and won.

Texas as an independent nation fought Mexico. You currently are much laxer on border enforcement than Arizona is trying to be - although it looks like we would need to become an independent nation to secure our borders now.

And I live south of I-10, and I live in Arizona. The problem here is primarily drug runners, and we aren’t allowed to do much about that, either.

“So what you’re saying is that because others sin that means you can sin with impunity? That’s not exactly Christian principles.”

First, I reject the idea that using a condom is a sin. You can call it that if you wish, but God has not.

Second, I rate abortion a graver sin than using a condom (which I don’t consider a sin at all, but if it was one, it would rate somewhere lower in gravity as a crime than aborting a baby).

How many Catholic politicians calling for government paid abortions have been punished by the Catholic Church? Any? Ever? Who has been excommunicated for it?

Each Baptist congregation is responsible for discipline. I can promise you a Baptist politician in my congregation who wanted government provided abortions thru the 4th trimester would be thrown out. So would those calling for homosexual marriage.

Catholics who point to pride that they oppose condoms might want to consider how many Catholics openly support abortion, including partial birth abortion, and how many Catholics voted for a man who believes in killing kids after a botched abortion. Or how many prominent Catholic politicians support homosexuality...or even how many Catholic priests do!
