She didn't like that. And stammered around with a reply like, well, I can vote for whomever I want to....I agreed, and said, I already acknowledged that, but it is inherently inconsistent to be a Roman Catholic and to also vote for the party of death.
The Church simply reiterated its position on the issue and our priest said, prior to the election, to follow your heart and vote.
Well, I maintain, you can NOT be Catholic and also support the demos. It is not enough to say, as this woman said, you do not like abortion, would never have an abortion yourself, but support the right of others to. Babies are defenseless. You can not support ANY position by simply saying, "I would never do it, but..." By voting for Obama and other demos, assured that the murder of babies would continue.
So, choose, be a demo or be Catholic. You can not be both.
