President of Catholic Democrats, says this: his organization "is thrilled that Sen Obama has been elected to the highest office in the land today, and that Sen. Biden will be our first Catholic vice president." Further, his group "argued all along" that Obama and Biden "were the candidates that best reflected our Catholic values of hope, personal responsibility and care for the common good."
Well, that's all fine and good, but doesn't our Catholic Church tell us that we cannot vote for a pro-choice candidate unless there are portionate reasons??? There are not portionate reasons here - John McCain was asked when life begins, and he had 2 words to say...."at conception." What does Sen. Obama say? He says (paraphrasing here) that it is above his pay grade to make that determination. How can a Catholic, in good conscience, vote for a man who supports abortion?
Ok, I know...the election is over, and and we all have to support our president-elect while still maintaining our morals and values. The pro-life movement must continue to grow - poor, defenseless babies need to be protected. No matter who is president, our faith and personal responsibility to live as Christ commanded is priority. Let us ask Him.....He who knew us in the womb....to have mercy on us. God bless!!!
