As far as those who decided Roe v. Wade, the Catholic voted for death as did all three Calvinists.

No, none of those on the Supreme Court then or since has been a Calvinist.

More's the pity. I've never known a pro-abortion Calvinist. Calvinists, as a rule, are conservative and pro-life because they hold the word of God as our only measure of faith.

If people want to take the minority of Catholics who support abortion and somehow determine that they are representative of Catholicism, then I certainly think it’s logical to call Presbyterians who support abortion Calvinists.

Do I think the Presbyterians and Catholic who voted for Roe were good Calvinists and Catholics? Absolutely not, but that is still how they identify themselves.

Excellent post. The humbling perspective of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistable grace, and perseverance of the saints tends to keep such folks revering life as a precious gift of God. And who can be a real student of the Word of God and not find reminders laying everywhere on the pages?

Wonderful stuff, Doc.
