118. I remember well when JFK was unacceptable as Presidential
because as a Catholic, the good Christians thought it would be The Pope who would be actually ruling the US.

How times have changed! Now our Catholic elected Reps don't even have to reach as high as the Pope, they simply have a need to confer with their Catholic Bishops before they decide on a vote for the women's choice????

Tell me how in the hell any priest, pastor, layman, etc., is so proficient in their medical knowledge as to know when an individual woman may need and require medical intervention/abortion to save the life of the mother and at times a viable baby from a multiple pregnancy. With so many technical abnormalities that can and do at times occur during a pregnancy, this must be a decision left to the doctor, the woman and her family and not an elected official, nor a priest or Pope. If one doesn't not think that many these same officials have utilized the abortion process for their self-protection, I am sure you still believe in Santa Claus.

There is a reason they call the birth of a baby a "miracle." Not all pregnancies are miracles and a woman, her doctor and her family, will always need the full support to deal with it.
