Abortion foes cross line with attacks on elected officials

An attack would be if the abortion foes physically assaulted elected officials, which is the image this dishonest columnist wishes to conjure up in the minds of her readers. But, as RAT Patrol aptly noted, Ms. Lundstrom verbally attacks elected officials all day long. But apparently only the politically-correct journalists are allowed to engage in such activities without dangers to society. And what would those dangers be?

And so California is poised to be the next exhibit in the corrosive world of abortion politics, where one side is already eating away at the separation of church and state.

And now hypocrisy followed by ignorance (with libs, the two walk hand in hand). The Constitution forbids the state from endorsing a religion. It does not prohibit religions from attempting to influence politics (unless they accept tax-free status, in which case they make themselves beholden to the tax man).

Bishop Weigand was not attempting in influence politics. He was speaking about people calling themselves "good Catholics" while publicly denouncing the teachings of the Catholic Church. If Davis believes that being Catholic is important for his soul, that his religion ... and God ... are more important than man-made rules, then he would willingly change his position on abortion or refrain from Communion. No one is forcing Davis to remain a Catholic.

I don't want to chase people from the church. But I do want people to stop running around saying they are good Catholics, and then expanding abortion laws so more innocent babies can be slaughtered.
