Well, certainly all the Catholics I knew who voted dem in spite of the abortion issue because the dems were for the *poor* (their words and rationale).
So, abortion took a back seat to increased welfare handouts, medicare, and medicaid.
It sounds like a lot of loud talk but little doing. Whether or not to deny communion to abortion supporters is left to each bishop despite opinion from the Pope that all should.
Every bishop is thus a law unto himself despite Canon law and admonishments from the Vatican.
“So, abortion took a back seat to increased welfare handouts, medicare, and medicaid.”
The back seat in a very long bus!
