wow why drag up this crap...see true catholics are for scantity of life, and while abortion is part of that so is gun control the death penilty, takeing care of the poor and underprivlaged and not fighting unjust wars in iraq. This is a bit from the head of catholic teachings in the vatican, probably a bit of a higher athority in the church (in fact only the pope's word would be higher). http://www.freep.com/news/politics/abort7e_20040907.htm

basicly in the catholic faith you are explicitly told not to shove your beleifes down some one elses throat, so while Mr. Kerry personaly beleives abortion is wrong he (rightly so) dosn't see a place for goverment to invade someones private life or determin there morals.


So why is it that the conservaties that are supposidly about smaller goverment and freedom are obseesed with dictateing how people should lead there lives?
