"I believe there are a lot of Catholics out there that feel the way Dick Durbin does. I'm one of them," Andersen said. "Does that mean I shouldn't be giving out Communion? I don't think so. I agree with most of what the church does. I've been a good Catholic all my life."

How depressing that the state of catechisis in this country has come to this. This woman should not be allowed to receive the Blessed Sacrament...let alone distribute it. It's bad enough that we're using LEM's at all...but LEM's who openly defy Church teaching on abortion???

What has the world come to when people think it is acceptable to run a baby through a Cuisinart?

Why stop at the 1st or 2nd trimester? Why not say that the mother should be able to abort the child up until the time the child can fend for him/herself? That's what, about 15 or 16 years old? (35 or older in some cases!)

Sure! I mean really, why not? Doesn't the mother have the right to choose? If the kid isn't working out, or is somehow inconvenient for the mother either before birth or after birth, we'll just drop the kid into a big wood chipper. Maybe the mom can call the school and just have the school bus drop the kid off at the pulp mill, that way she won't even have to take time off from work!

It's the same thing, right? Doesn't the mother have the right to live her own life free from all these petty inconveniences and intrusions; you know, like responsibility for one's own actions, stuff like that.

What's more important, the freedom to have sex with as many partners as often as one would like or without any kind of birth control (like abstinence)or the "rights" of a "blob of tissue" that no one is even sure is a "person"?

Let's get real people.
