Obama, the Freedom of Choice Act, Abortion and the Catholic Church (h/t American Papist): “Catholics can support “pro-choice” candidates if they support them despite — not because of — their “pro-choice” views.

Barack Obama and Infanticide: Indefensible
When the man votes against a bill supported nationally by every major pro-abortion Democrat in Congress and unopposed by America’s largest abortion rights organization, there really is no defense except that he believes it is perfectly acceptable practice for hospitals and abortion clinics to put infants on shelves to die so long as someone was trying to kill them before … Read More
None of the Above – Updated*
WND has bumper stickers and buttons for those who can’t stand the thought of voting for either Barack Obama or John McCain. I still don’t know what the right answer is here.

Wake Up America!
You must read this piece from Fr. John Corapi: Death Wish: the impending suicide of a once great nation (h/t Leticia). Here is a very little taste: The first and pre-eminent right is the right to life.

Not only do we need to build up a culture of life throughout the country (and the world) but also within our own Government. And, judging by our dismal Presidential choices this year, we need to start from the bottom up – at the state and local levels. Fellow blogger “Regular Guy” Paul has recognized this need in his own … Read More
