If you’re a Republican, the spine comes out during the same procedure...

Don't forget the testicles.

What about his plagiarism that caused him to drop out of the last presidential race?

You know, this strikes me as BS as I know of no priest that would even mention a discussion with someone on a private matter.

I’d say contrived. 100%

Note that n brain scans of the soon to be next in line’s head have been released. He and Obama BETTER reveal much more once elected, with the econ and the world on precipices.

“The nice thing about Biden, at least he says his conscience bothers him, which is good,” But his conscience hasn't led him to change a vote. Actions speak louder than words.

Quoting the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the bishop wrote: "The dignity of the human person begins at the moment of conception, not at birth. The dignity, as recognized by the signers of the Declaration of Independence, is bestowed by the Creator, and no one has the right to destroy innocent unborn life." http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=10434

I doubt the ‘Say it ain’t so Joe’ Biden is experiencing anything close to conscience pangs. After a lifetime of leftist graft and subversion, he’s as hard as stone. Personally, I’d be suprised if he does any suffering over anything he’s done until Judgement Day.

Biden experiencing troubled conscience over abortion, says Bishop Aquila

But probably not in the manner which the Bishop seems to be suggesting.

He's got quite a dilemma. If he changes to a pro-life position his political career is over. He'll never be President.

C'mon Joe. Do the right thing. Time to get in the game. Be part of the deal.

““Careful, Bishop Aquila, Biden is a liar.”

And a Democrat...”

You are repeating yourself.

Pray, pray, pray! Pray for Biden, and Obama! Imagine how great it would be if they had a true crisis of conscience, changed their minds on abortion, and said to the country, “you know what, abortion *is* murder and we’re going to act like it is too,” and then introduced legislation to ban it. He’d become my favorite president.

Keep praying. Abortion only became an article of left-wing faith because it is a necessity to radical feminism, which is an important SIG in left-wing politics. Without abortion, women of the same productivity as a man aren’t as hireable or as promotable in the workplace as that man because of the higher risk associated with them (women withdraw from the workplace after giving birth, sometimes for years). Radical feminists know this, and THIS alone is the reason why they are in favor of it. It’s purely about money. There’s nothing about left-wing politics in and of itself that makes it a “pro-abortion” platform, it’s simply an accident of history that it happened this way. We CAN change peoples’ minds on this, so don’t give up. Pray, pray, pray. Volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center. Spread the word. Educate yourself.

NOTHING Biden can do will wash the blood off his hands. Nothing.

Let us pray for Joseph Biden, he may yet be saved.

Let us do it retroactively, once he demonstrates he is worthy of being saved....until then, no thanks.

... Bishop Samuel Aquila has revealed that vice president-elect Joe Biden is struggling with his conscience over his support for abortion...

And to think I was considering going to confession for the first time in 30 years.
