Paul O'Donnell, a member of the Franciscan Order of Peace in St. Paul, Minn., said Catholics can't abandon their faith when they enter the voting booth and vote for pro-abortion candidates.
"Absolutely not," O'Donnell said. "If one is faithful to the teachings of the church, they are not allowed to support abortion - or encourage it." See Video
O'Donnell also works with the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation and attended the March for Life with her brother, Bobby Schindler. As Cybercast News Service previously reported, Schiavo was the brain injured Florida woman who died after years at the center of a contentious right-to-life battle.
Schindler agreed with O'Donnell that voting for a pro-abortion candidate was not compatible with Catholic doctrine. See Video................
