While I welcome the news that the Pope and Obama can speak civil to each other, I am more concered with the churches in India that are being burned and the Christians that arebeing killed there.____While we ight over "gay rights" and abortion on demand, people ar being slaughtered in countries that are our allies. Lets put the ocus on thinghs that trully matter.
Abortion on demand is a cultural nightmare and is truly something that matters. One can fight against unfettered abortion rights AND also work for peace. Those goals are not mutually exclusive. My nephew who is in the Army always says you'll never find anyone more interested in a peaceful solution than a soldier, a sailor, or a marine on active duty.
YourName:
Not only are they our allies, that swooshing sound you hear are thousands of jobs with American companies going to India, the same country persecuting and murdering Christians.
Hard to imagine isn't it?
Partial birth abortion: MD takes forceps, pulls infants leg so that only head is in birth canal, base of skull is puncture with scissors, hose sucks brains out.
Saline abortion: saline insterted in womb, baby burns inside and out for 18 hours, mother is supposed to deliver dead fetus yet many are left to breath on their own for 2, 4, 10 hours before they die. Some survivors live to tell the story.
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you by name." God.
The fetus is genetically wired to have a relationship with GOD. No man or woman has the right to take that right from a child or God.
That's all I have to say.
You Catholics wanted Obama, It's too late to be crying now.
All we can do is pray for America.

Not the Catholics, just the "Catholics".
