“Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.”
Ronald Reagan
I'm constantly amazed by the enormous number of Catholics and other Christians who seem to believe that permitting an abortion somehow requires it. Support women, and they will choose life. It's just so much easier to condemn abortion than to support women.
Guess those bishops haven't heard that the stock market has crashed, 401 K's are dropping fast, folks are out of work/or are close to losing their job, retired folks are having to go back to work, because their saving fell a lot with that market, people are losing their houses because they can no longer make payments, etc. But the bishops, who live well, don't have to worry about any of those things, so they have decided to make the choice for president based on the candidates belief on abortion!!??
Guess the bishops haven't heard the statement." It's the economy, stupid!".
