    Being anti-abortion does not make one pro-life.
    If criminalizing abortion is the only plank in your “pro-life” agenda, as is the case with the Republicans, then they have no right trying to align themselves with the Catholic Church on these issues. The Catholic Church also opposes the death penalty – which Repubicans support and want to expand; it opposed the War in Iraq, which the Republicans support to the detriment of our troops and our national security situation. The Catholic Church also supports heavy spending on foreign aid and social programs, all of which are opposed by the Republicans.
    And here is the greatest irony, if one was truly concerned with reducing the number of abortions in the United States, the last thing they would want to do is vote Republican. The Republican policy of criminalization with harsh punishments and no support services for pregnant women would ultimately result in more abortions than the Democratic plan of keeping abortions safe, legal and rare combined with economic policies and support services that will lift women out of situations that lead them to seek abortions in the first place.
    If you look at other countries around the globe, you find that those that follow the Republican plan of criminalization have much higher abortion rates than the countries that keep it legal.
    You want to really be pro-life? Vote Democrat.

    Democrat = Pro Life? I don’t think so.

    The Democrat Party has always stood for, and continues to push for, abortion on-demand for any reason at any time. Democrats have even demanded that pre-birth abortion stay legal, even though the only difference between this procedure and a live birth is that the doctor kills the child before it has totally left the birth canal.

    The Republican Party and the Catholic Church have never agreed on everything, and they probably never will. However, they do agree that killing an unborn child for no reason other than the mother’s convenience is wrong.

    I am closing the comments on this post because I do not want it to turn into another abortion debate. We’ve already done that.
