The Church does

"You may in some circumstances where you don't have any candidate who is proposing to eliminate all abortion, choose the candidate who will most limit this grave evil in our country, but you could never justify voting for a candidate who not only does not want to limit abortion but believes that it should be available to everyone,"

Cardinal Burke

We can not let the perfect be the enemy of the possible.

If this principle had been followed all along, Romney would not have ended up as the Republican nominee in the first place.

How could one have voted for him in the primaries when the pro-life/anti-war positions of the other candidates were more honest?

Mitt Romney needs to lie bigger if he wants my vote. I need a sketchy background story, faked identity documents, and promises of hope and change. I want my BHO!

The current system says that ALL unborn are not human and may be killed.
Any restriction at all is better then nothing.

I imagine the same legislation (assuming it is serious about cutting down abortion) will include the requirement to have a police report and investigation for the alleged rape.

Agreed. It is the wrong message.
But compared to the message currently in circulation, it is better.

Perhaps when abortion is cut back in that manner people will note the inconsistancy and vote to outlaw it altogether.

Forced to choose between the two...?

On the one hand we have unrestricted abortion.
On the other, we have a candidate that supports abortion in cases of rape and incest.

An evil will take place. With your help, we can have a little less evil.

Hi, ProVobis,

Do you have a reference on the Law?

God bless

Hi, Nordskoven,

Do you also want BHO's pro abortion policies, forced tax payer support of PP (he sends our tax dollars to some state PP group on a regular basis) denial of religious freedom, authcratic determination on which of our country's laws he will enforce (Defense of Marraige Act will not be defended by Obama in Federal Court) and his total ignorance on how this economy works - as opposed to the socialism he wants to impose?

BHO is a disaster if you love the freedoms this country once enjoyed. He's really not that great at implementing socialism (I think because he is making too much money). But, he is a great community organizer..

God bless

In this case it is more like chosing between Stalin and Roosevelt.

Hi, ProVobis,

I am with you on this one. But, this is the reality of the situation - in 32 days the Republicans hold their convention...and in 103 days from today we will have the tremendous chance to make Obama a one-term President.

My only suggestion is to make sure all the people you know are registered to vote and for them to vote their conscience.

God bless
