Catholic Vote Split on Peace and Abortion Issues

It is now a majority of Catholics who will vote against McCain for ethical reasons.

Jesus in the New Testament is not recorded as having said anything about
abortion. In the United States the majority fall in between absolutist
prolife and absolutist prochoice opinions. The majority feel that the
first trimester is a private decision of the mother and that the third
trimester, when the baby could live outside the mother, is not.

A slight majority of US Catholics will not vote for McCain
according to polls, one of which is conducted by John Zogby,
graduate of a Jesuit university.

Imho, it is worse to end the life of a Baghdad baby with bombs
than to have a first trimester abortion... just as it is worse to pull up
a young tree than a tiny sapling.

To those in America who plan to vote for McCain, who has bombed
pregnant women in light bulb and other factories in Vietnam, who has voted to take the money of the poor in the US against their will
to spread death throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, neither of
which has been a successful campaign except for war profiteers, one might
say "war is mass abortion'.

Jesus told Peter to put down the sword which Peter had been instructed to
bring the night before. "Thou shalt not kill" is not asterisked with exceptions
said a governor of Minnesota.
