A Voter's Guide: Pro-choice candidates and church teaching

Abortion and embryo-destructive research are different. They are intrinsic and grave evils; no Catholic may legitimately support them. In the context of contemporary American social life, abortion and embryo-destructive research are disproportionate evils. They are the gravest human rights abuses of our domestic politics and what slavery was to the time of Lincoln. Catholics are called by the Gospel of Life to protect the victims of these human rights abuses. They may not legitimately abandon the victims by supporting those who would further their victimization.

Well said, but with all due respect, I would amend that to say "no Christian should..."

Like supporting a pro-war, abortionist candidate was ever a good idea to begin with. Ahem, Rudy Giuliani. ;)

Thanks for a great pro-life ping, Coleus!
