“It’s only a tiny bit evil, Lord, and it’s politically correct which is more important to us modern types than your law. Besides, that Obama is just so darned irrestible.”
Well, doesn't that explain it?
You sir (the author......not presidio) are a spineless moral relativist.
You forgot to add that besides being Catholic, you also have no knowledge of economics, foreign policy, or morality. Other than that, guess you’re OK.
Supporting a man who voted to deny medical care to a born alive baby following a botched abortion.
This IDIOT is a DEMOCRAT FIRST and a Catholic second.

I guess he’s not a very smart Catholic.
Nick,
You are double-minded, unstable in all your ways and you should expect to receive NOTHING from the Lord.
Wrong. The Pope spoke about this. The right to life is the most basic, fundamental right there is. If you can’t accept that right, the other rights are just arbitrary. “The enjoyment of the right to life is a necessary condition of the enjoyment of all other human rights.”
No. zer0bama's pro-death fanaticism trumps any "good" position he might hold on other social justice or economic issues.
Overall a waste of a read. Obama will do more to reduce abortions than McCain because he pays lip service to it and is “more likely to reduce poverty?”
One argument is giving credit to a snake oil salesman.
The other argument is questionable to say the least and takes too many steps.
From the comments:
This claim in part of a post-nomination marketing strategy by the Obama campaign, but to work, it requires deflection of attention away from the fact that Barack Obama is firmly committed to an agenda of abortion-related policy changes that, if implemented, would greatly increase the numbers of abortions performed.
The pro-life movement has won enactment of literally hundreds of state laws related to abortion — laws that save many lives, despite the severe limits imposed by the Supreme Court’s pro-abortion rulings. Studies by both pro-life researchers and pro-abortion researchers agree about this effect, although of course the pro-abortion side uses different language to describe it. These laws include informed consent laws (some of which now require the woman seeking an abortion to be offered ultrasound images of the unborn child), waiting periods, and parental notification and consent laws.
All of these laws, and any other law that would “interfere with” access to abortion, would be nullified by the “Freedom of Choice Act” (FOCA, S. 1173), a proposed federal law that Obama has cosponsored. This bill would invalidate virtually every federal and state limitation on abortion, including all parental notification and consent laws, waiting periods, and limitations on public funding of abortion. As the National Organization for Women put it, it would “sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws [and] policies.”
