"It seems that these days "social justice" (whatever that is) trumps abortion, infanticide, and gay marriage as the defining issue among many orthodox, evangelicals, fundamentalists and Catholics. "

They are also concerned with protecting life after a birth. From what I've seen, they are more interested in helping the poor projects than in abortion and gay marriage protests. It is, what it is.

I find him completely unlikeable and downright creepy. But apparently many people think he’s just the coolest thing in the universe. This article is a message to them.

That said, with the bishops, the Democratic Party platform usually trumps Church teaching any day, so I’m not expecting to see a lot of teaching on this.

**Because of Obama’s past votes on the sanctity of life issues, I find it to be a serious sin to vote or support The Obama for President.**

And it is!
