Anti-Abortion Catholics for Obama?

I am catholic and would NEVER vote for Obama. There are many other reasons also, but his pro-choice record is more liberal than any other democrat in congess. He voted yes for late term abortions. He was the only one to vote no to medical assistance for babies who live after a failed abortion. He supported the bill that states girls under 18 can get an abortion, and cross state lines without their parents consent.

He is not just a democrat, he is too far left with his radical and liberal positions.
He has no experience, and is untested for the crisis' that we face today.
Let's not forget the radical associations of Ayers, Jerimiah Wright, Rezko (whose about to start spilling the beans), and endorsements by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Louis Farakhan.
This guy is too scary just being a senator. He would not pass a background check for employment, why should we trust his judgement with the presidency?

green: Once again, It is not my intention to "convince" anyone about anything. I am simply stating the fact that it is against the teachings of the Catholic church for Catholics to support pro-abortion candidates. You may protest all you want, Her teachings speak much louder than you're repeated attempts to convince people otherwise. I continue to pray for you.

CATHOLICS FOR MCCAIN/PALIN '08. REAL CATHOLICS, REAL LEADERS!

You are upside down sport, it is you who failed to convince a single Catholic voter to vote the way YOU want them to.

It's not just Catholics. The Matthew 25 Network has launched a website called "Pro Life/Pro Obama". Google it.

Miguy: As you bring up a war voted on in the past, let me remind you of a war started by a Barack Obama associate which resulted in the death and destruction of people in his own country. William Ayers, the Domestic Terrorist of the Weather Underground that bombed the Pentagon and New York Police headquarters can also be defined as starting an unjust war as it was not even put up to a vote. It was a war started by a very few narrow minded individuals who eventually became Barack Obama confidants, launched Barack Obama's Political career and whom Barack Obama cast aside when they became politically costly. Unjust War, Unjust Friendships.

Andrew: Nobody is telling you how to think, think away, to your hearts content. The issue is can Catholics support Pro-Abortion candidates, and not one person today has yet to refute my statement that the Catholic church teaches against the support of such a candidate.

Awesome. I was just thinking about this today.

There's more to values than dogmatic loyalty to fetuses, especially when thousands of innocents are killed collaterally by misguided warfare.

I'm socially conservative personally, but values such as poverty, the protection of innocent life of those who are already living, economic anxieties, justice.... these are all fundamental values in my eyes, and something that McCain's policies simply can not offer exemption from and if anything, will only exacerbate.

Bill, the Catholic Church also does not condone unjust wars and, ergo, the candidates who support them. The war in Iraq does not meet the standards of a "just war" by Catholic teaching as you are well aware.

Well said, Truth and Andrew.

Bill - As a Catholic man, please do not tell me how I should think! We might be of the same faith, but I do have a mind of my own too!

WISE UP AMERICANS!!

To McCain, Palin and the Republicans you are all just TERRORISTS AND COMMUNISTS if you do not hold the same beliefs that they do...

Look out if they get elected, as the only thing they will shake-up in Washington if they get elected is your rights!!!

Welcome to a Republican administration that will be even more secretive and evil that Bush/Cheney could have ever hoped to be...

Welcome to the Palin/McCain NEOCON POLICE STATE!!! Where you will be branded a communist and a terrorist if you do not agree with their right wing-nut evangelical views!!!

Vote for smart, educated and inclusive leaders this time! Vote for OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!

Please you "Joe Six-Pack" people, let's not elect the DUMMIES again!!!!

I'm Catholic, and I completely agree with Mr. Cafardi. His reasonings make complete sense. McCain will not be able to get anything changed on abortion, and there are a lot of other important issues on the table as well. I am for the greater good of the nation, and can't just vote for someone simply because he is pro-life, eventhough I disagree with almost the rest of his policies.

To Bill: can you also be Catholic and use a Microsoft Windows computer? According to pro-life sites Cogforlife and ProLifePC, Microsoft has contributed a great deal of money to Planned Parenthood. What about AB beer? Can you be Catholic and drink that, when AB has been a supporter of PP? And finally, how can one vote for John McCain when he has a personal stake in AB?

green: Thats what you do. Cafeteria Catholics, read what suits you, interpert it to fit your desires and run with it, I understand. The only problem is it's wrong. Please continue to attack me at a personal level, it does not change the Church's teachings that Catholics cannot support Pro-Abortion candidates.

It is endlessly disturbing, but not surprising, that people rely on outdated, plagiarized, discredited texts (a few in particular; I'm talking to you old testament, new testament, and koran) and those (costumed and otherwise)who "interpret" them rather than exercising their own judgment on issues of importance to them.

Just happend Today...Democrat Ed Schultz raido talk show host from 820am WCPT in Chicago Just called Sarah Palin a "Political Whore"....

I am so offend..

Bill, leave Blip out of this. And no one called you any names. You falsely claim the Holy Father made certain statements which you misrepresent.
His Doctrinal Note...I urged you to read what He wrote yet you failed to...
CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH

DOCTRINAL NOTE
on some questions regarding
The Participation of Catholics in Political Life

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, having received the opinion of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, has decided that it would be appropriate to publish the present Doctrinal Note on some questions regarding the participation of Catholics in political life. This Note is directed to the Bishops of the Catholic Church and, in a particular way, to Catholic politicians and all lay members of the faithful called to participate in the political life of democratic societies.

You are ill-informed...which leads only to forming your own opinions in spite of the facts.

TO ALL OF YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS:
THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING LEFT OR RIGHT, THIS IS ABOUT BEING CATHOLIC. THERE ARE CERTAIN ISSUES WITHIN THE CATHOLIC TEACHINGS THAT ARE NON NEGOTIABLE. OBAMA IS AN ADVOCATE/SUPPORTER OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD, A SUPPORTER OF ABORTION INCLUDING PARITAL BIRTH ABORTION OF FULL TERM INFANTS AND SUBSEQUENTLY VOTED AGAINST PROVIDING LIFE SAVING HEALTH CARE FOR INFANTS WHO SURVIVED THE BLOTCHED ABORTION RESULTING IN INFANTICIDE. CLEARLY THESE ARE NOT TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. BEING CATHOLIC IS HARD IN THESE TIMES. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT BECAME EN VOGUE TO COMPROMISE YOUR MORALS AND VALUES TO BE DEEMED "IN TOUCH." I WILL VOTE A TICKET THAT PROMOTES PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND PRO LIFE BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Mr. Green Jeans: Blip blatanly misrepresents the facts in his posts and you resort to inuendo and name calling. Aside from those traits not following in the footsteps of Christ, neither of you have discussed, truthfully, the Church and it's stance on why it does not support pro-abortion candidates and how it teaches it flock against same. I will pray for you both.
