And I look around at who's opposing it, and I see Catholics, and more Catholics, and still more Catholics, and ... oh, yes, the occasional Protestant.

Oh, please. Get a grip on yourself.

The most Catholic states are among the most liberal. States like New York and other big corrupt union-dominated leftist-idoleogy states. And in them, the Roman element is as often subversive to pro-life issues as it is supportive of the pro-life cause. You've got plenty of cafeteria Catholics.

By contrast, here in the Midwest and many of the rural states, Catholics are a small minority. But they have vocal and conservative bishops. Like my own bishop, Bruskewitz. The last serious challenge to abortion law from a state case came from Nebraska and it is certainly not readily apparent that it was instigated by Roman elements though our state pro-life organizations do have a number of R.C.'s in them. But our Baptists and evangelicals are just as involved and active against abortion as the local R.C.'s. Om comparison to Nebraska's example, how many of the liberal bishops in the big Democrat/Catholic states have ever written to their parishioners and told them directly that it is anti-Church and anti-life to vote Democrat? Archibishop Eldon Curtiss of Omaha did exactly that. And Bruskewitz told anyone who joined a pro-abort or pro-sodomite group to consider themselves formally excommunicated. You need to understand that there is a reason why Nebraska was one of the three all-red Bush states in the last election. Our R.C.'s may still be mostly registered as Dems but they vote conservative. This is why our Dims are more conservative than most anyone else's. And they don't get a pass from liberal R.C. bishops either, like Cuomo and the other CINO politicians do from their local RC hierarchy. It makes a huge difference.

So, in terms of clout, the smaller states are the most anti-abortion. And they are the most effective in that fight. They are the most steadfast in sending representatives to Congress, especially to the Senate, to support the pro-life agenda. It is not entirely a coincidence that there are often very conservative R.C. bishops in the dioceses of those states.

By contrast, the best-known large states with substantial Roman elements in the pro-life movement are largely undermined by their own cafeteria Catholics voting for pro-abort Catholic Dimwits (like Cuomo, for example) and the votes of the R.C. pro-lifers are submerged in a general liberal voting bloc of their fellow RC's who follow the liberal social and political ideology that is preached by their bishops.

You're just wrong. Name recognition and an occasional rally in a big city don't mean much if you don't send representatives to Congress, especially the Senate, to enact your views. Period.

Oh, please. Get a grip on yourself. And tell your Orthodox buddies to get a grip while you're at it. There are plenty of protestants in "Blue America", and plenty of protestants in political office who support the Culture of Death. Hitlery is one of yours. Likewise Bill and Al. And "Sheets" Byrd. Just for starters. They sure didn't get elected by the CINO vote. Oh, and when pro-abortion 'rats want to ~~give campaign speeches~~ preach in a church, it's sure not a Catholic one. Protestant's don't have to do the "cafeteria" thing; y'all can just go denomination shopping to find one with lesbian "bishops", or that doesn't mind abortion, or breaks with 1900 years of Tradition to allow artificial contraception. Glass houses, bub. Any "Catholic" (so called) who supports or engages in abortion, contraception, cloning, fetal experimentation, euthanasia, assisted suicide, or buggery is acting in direct contradiction to his alleged Faith, and may very well have automatically (laetae sententiae) excommunicated himself. The same can NOT be said of Protestants.

And that, my fellow Americans, is the bottom line. The Protestant churches are institutionally compromised. The Catholic Church need only live up to her existing teachings.
