From page 6 of "Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics" (booklet)
Intrinsically evil actions are those that fundamentally conflict with the moral law and can never be performedunder any circumstances.It is a serious sin to deliberately endorse or promote any of these actions, and no candidate who really wants to advance the common good will support any actioncontrary to the non-negotiable principles involved in these issues.
1. Abortion
The Church teaches that, regarding the law permitting abortions, it is "never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or to vote for it"(EV 73)
Abortion is the intentional and direct killing of an innocent human being, and therefore it is a form of homicide.
The unborn is always an innocent party, and no law may permit the taking of his life. Even when a child is conceived through rape or incest,the fault is not the child's, who should not suffer death for others' sins.

The current President of the USA has clearly demonstrated his advocacy of
"a form of homicide" for God's pre-birth children.
EVEN TO INCLUDE INFANTICIDE of children during their birth and after being born.
The correct terms for these evil events are ABORTICIDE and INFANTICIDE.
No human being has any right to stop the human beating heart of another
in the USA without due process of law.
Every aborticide procedure STOPS a BEATING HEART !
A child in the womb has a beating heart within 10 days from his conception.
This heart starts beating BEFORE his mother
EVEN KNOWS HE EXISTS, a human being,
a PERSON with rights.
1st, 2nd, and third trimester abortions CAN INCLUDE
TORTURE and SEVERE PAIN for MOST CHILD VICTIMS.
Furthermore, the current President has promoted the legalization of aborticide WORLDWIDE
before and since taking the office of President.
ALL Roman Catholics who act in opposition to the teaching authority
of the Roman Catholic Church by voting for Pres. Obama(Soetoro, his given name)
are SEPARATED FROM THE UNITY of the FAITH,
and, are forbidden from receiving ANY SACRAMENTS of the Roman Catholic Church
for the period of time and UNTIL THEY RECONCILE THEIR ERROR of BELIEF
by their sinful act, their VOTE !
The Bishops need to order all Parishes to speak that from the pulpit on Sunday in simple, direct, clear English.
Voting to re-elect Barack Hussein Obama is tantamount to a mortal sin.
Instead of hiding it in circular language inside booklets or in web videos embedded in Parish websites.
Well that’s IT- it could not be made ANY clearer!!!

BUMP CATHOLIC
I don’t agree with a lot of Catholic teachings, but God bless them for their stand on abortion. I hope that practicing Catholics take heed to their priests’ teaching on this subject.
Is it sinful to vote for Romney, if we know he’s pro-abortion?
Well that’s IT- it could not be made ANY clearer!!!
Do you think it is clear enough for Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden?
Democrats are Democrats first and Roman catholics second.
No Bishop, not even the Pope could stop Yellow Dog Democrats from voting for Obama.
There may be a few who will listen, but they are the ones who have already decided to vote for Romney. I can name the Democrats in my Church who will vote for Obama if God allows them to make it to the polls.
In many elections there are situations where all of the available candidates take morally unacceptable positions on one or more of the non-negotiable issues.
In such situations, a citizen is called upon to make tough choices. In those cases, citizens must vote in the way that will most limit the harm that would be done by the available candidates.
Imagine a situation wherein one candidate has a record of fighting for unrestricted access to abortion, and the other candidate would only consider allowing abortion in the cases of rape or incest.
This is simply an example of a situation where all of the available candidates take a morally unacceptable position, but one will most limit the harm that would be done.
So!...You have a RESPONSIBILITY TO VOTE FOR THE ONE WHO WOULD DO THE LEAST HARM, lest the other clown DOES MORE HARM!
“Is it sinful to vote for Romney, if we know he’s pro-abortion?”
Depends on whether you are persuaded by his present stated positions or his resume.
