Reverend Euteneur should be reminded that President Bush HAS shown a consistent respect for the sanctity of human life. That is, after all, why we are in Iraq. This Plan B pill may be unacceptable for many pro lifers, but President Bush cannot be expected to see everything through the Catholic lens. He has been the best friend pro lifers have had in moving the legal system in a pro life direction. Plan B , for all of it's pros and cons, seems to me to be more related to birth control measures that are currently used by millions than it is to abortion. The extreme 'divorce' rhetoric is over the line. Any cleric who leads their flock in that 'divorce' direction does great harm to the pro life cause.

It is not the reverend that has offended the Catholic Conservative base that elected George W Bush. George Bush is the one who has alienated pro-lifers with integrity.
If the president came out for an assualt weapons ban how would you expect the NRA to respond? And when they attacked the president would you tell them to shut up and be thankful they got two judges. If the president announced he was for national health care would you tell the Cato crowd to be quite and stay focused on the WOT. The good rev is the head of a catholic pro life group... it is his job to stand up for the values of his organization
