Catholics cannot vote for pro-choice candidates

When need to respect the unborn as Catholics!

It is amazing how the liberal pro-dead babies are making up facts. Conservatives are not against the poor. They are on the contrary much more on the side of the poor as they support the safety net for hardship cases and trust them to make their own decisions because there is their true Dignity. A dignity that is denied them in the liberals plantations where all decisions are made by the anointed ones.

Even if Roe vs. Wade stands forever, pro-life people are vilified forever, some (fortunately not all) politicians use the pro-life movement for their own ends and people still abort babies left and right, as Catholics we still must obey our God implanted conscience and defend innocent human life with whatever strength and means we've got. On account that one day we'll meet our Creator and answer him. Is a matter of elementary justice.

The Pro-Life stance goes all the way back to God creating life. People who claim that the Church is "out of touch" with the needs of people today are themselves out of touch with God's law. The whole sexual revolution was about pleasure without consequences, and women rebelling for the sake of self-interest. If the Church bowed to every cultural whim, she would no longer be in line with the teachings of Christ. The Church has updated some of its explanations of the faith to better relate to today's issues, such as voting for Pro-Life candidates, but the main doctrine was always in place and always will be. Also, if people are going to not vote for a candidate because they may be lying about their Pro-Life stance, then what's the point of believing anything they say, or voting at all, if their platforms are all phony? Catholic voters aren't held accountable for a candidate relinquishing his or her proclaimed values after election day, we are simply obligated to vote for the candidate(s) that exhibit the most Pro-Life platforms. I seriously doubt that there's an overall Republican "conspiracy" to trick Pro-Lifers into voting for them.

Here is a letter about the term " a woman's right to choose";

Dear Page Gardner, President of Center for Voter Participation,

I recently received a mailing from you "Center for Voter Participation A project of Women's Voices. Women Vote Action Fund
223 N. Guadalupe Street Suite 550
Sante Fe, NM. 87501.

This mailing had questions concerning issues and positions of the NM Gubernatorial Candidates.

The first question"Do the candidates support a woman's right to choose?" was incomplete---
It should be completed honestly and fully this way:" Do the candidates support a woman's right to choose to kill her baby in her womb?"

Come on be honest--- The Pro choice--right to choose terminology is just a euphemism for choosing to kill a baby at anytime for any reason from the first weeks of conception all the way up to the moment of birth.

Usually by the time a woman knows she is pregnant, the baby's heart is beating ( 21 days) and by 8 weeks gestation, the baby has fully formed little feet and hands?--It is not a formless clump of tissue!--If "pro choicers" did some research and saw what an abortion really does to the baby and to the mother, they would see that an abortion violently kills a live baby, and the side effects on the mother are physical, emotional, and permanent!!

Don't hide behind politically correct sneaky euphemisms.
In the USA, over 52 million babies have been killed by abortion since 1973.
I don't vote for baby killing. Do you?

Sincerely,
Madeleine

Amazing all the good things happening in the Catholic church. An active Pro Life message, Thank You Father Pavone! GOOD WORK!
Sorry to hear so many play politics on the churches position, never arguing a good point angainst life.

David6 Still making the same unsubstantiated claims about the Church?
First of all we run more services for the poor, the young and the elderly than any other private agency. A fact you can verify.
Second, most bishops voted Democrat, if their voting behavior explains their deafening silence about pro-death Catholic politicians, most of whom are Democrats.
But, as Father Pavone says, good Catholics must vote to uphold the civil rights of our most vulnerable; the unborn child.
Would you have been single issue voter in the heyday of Hitler's rise to power? Or in the 1850's American when Dred Scott was declared non-human?
Single issues define the great moral stuggles of our time and reveal a lot about our character.
By the way, I am a pro-life social worker and teacher.

Rustys,

Why do the supposedly pro-life candidates always talk a good game but do absolutely nothing to back up their words? Are they just trying to con the religious folks who think this is important? Why would I believe that someone who votes to cut spending on the welfare of children, the poor, the infirm and the elderly really cares about life? Why should I not assume that they are just mouthing empty promises because those promises can get certain religious folks to vote for them?

In short, it appears to me that the Roman Catholic bishops are being played by the GOP. Why should I think otherwise?

This makes so much sense. Pro life is not Dem. Rep, Ind. or anything else. If the candidate changes from pro life to pro choice, not mater what party, we don't vote for him/her. My stand all along, but said very well in your article.Thank you Father

This is why the Catholic Church needs to have leaders who are men and women, married or unmarried. People who have children.

Right now, the Church is led by people who are completely out of touch with their members and with life. These leaders have betrayed the teachings of the past and have chosen to side with an American political party that has no compassion for the poor, the aged or the infirm.
