Abortion and the Clintons

I read this in the National Catholic Register this morning: The Clinton's God

As Pope John Paul II wrote in Veritatis Splendor (The Splendor of Truth) the Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, and through the magisterium, serves as the “pillar and bulwark of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15), particularly through its teaching of truth regarding moral action.

Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than the tragedy of abortion, especially in contrast to where some (but certainly not all) Protestants stand on the issue, including two extremely influential Protestants: Bill and Hillary Clinton.

No president did as much to advance legalized abortion as Bill Clinton, who is now poised to be exceeded in that capacity only by his spouse, who has an exceedingly good chance of becoming our next president, and no doubt will be the Democratic Party’s nominee for 2008.

The article brings to attention that lost issue of Abortion. And no wonder with the concerted effort to get Hilary into office. Understanding where she (and her husband) comes from on the Roe vs Wade debate has been hidden from view. In fact I would further note, at least in my opinion, the effort to wash all election issues of faith and moral aside and the use of the phrase 'religious fanatics' & 'the hijacking of the election of the religious right' as a way to demonize and minimize these very important views in order to make those issues non-exist in the '08 elections.

Candidates from both parties are looking to dissolve, divide, and marginalize the Christian vote. So far it seems that this '08 election hasn't offered a decent selection of Pres. Candidates.

I'm still undecided. My 'Don't Vote for' column is longer than my 'May vote for' column.
