"Pro-life people who described Scott Brown as pro-life are lying"

Scott Brown certainly is more favorable to the prolife cause than Coakley. Any Catholic who voted for him (in order to satisfy his/her conscience regarding prolife) can certainly claim that he or she followed an informed conscience regarding the choice of two candidates who are both supportive of abortion but one less than the other.

[GonzoII] Scott Brown certainly is more favorable to the prolife cause than Coakley.

[mlizzy] Judie Brown is simply saying that Scott Brown is not pro-life, and that those pro-lifers who voted for him, cannot attest to the fact he is (some have!). Of course, being a Catholic, it is fine if you vote for the lesser of two evils, and one should not feel guilty if that's the reason they voted for him. She does not repudiate that.

Judie Brown (all.org) writes a great deal as you probably know. She will no doubt have a fuller piece on this shortly. I look forward to reading it.

My daughter is on her way home from the Pro-Life March on Washington along with her cousin. It's a real shame EWTN was, for the most part, the only news outlet that seemed to know all these tens of thousands (was it hundreds of thousands?) of people gathered there. /sarc
