Robert George, author of the outstanding Clash Of Orthodoxies, has an article that summarizes why so many Catholics, including myself, cannot vote for Sen. Obama. He is not simply “pro-choice,” but a strong advocate – in deed and in promise, against the unborn and for a whole host of unacceptable policies that will directly impact the potential life of our most vunerable. One need not support any other policy or candidate to recognize the deep destruction of what he may very well advance while in office. According to George:
They say that his economic and social policies would so diminish the demand for abortion that the overall number would actually go down-despite the federal subsidizing of abortion and the elimination of hundreds of pro-life laws. The way to save lots of unborn babies, they say, is to vote for the pro-abortion-oops! ”pro-choice”-candidate. They tell us not to worry that Obama opposes the Hyde Amendment, the Mexico City Policy (against funding abortion abroad), parental consent and notification laws, conscience protections, and the funding of alternatives to embryo-destructive research. They ask us to look past his support for Roe v. Wade, the Freedom of Choice Act, partial-birth abortion, and human cloning and embryo-killing. An Obama presidency, they insist, means less killing of the unborn.
This is delusional.
