Voting for a candidate that supports abortion rights is not necessarily support for abortion rights.
While abortion is a very important social issue, it is not the ONLY social issue. What about immigration? Working wage? The death penalty? Torture? Pre-emptive war? Holding people in prison for years without charges being filed? Unauthorized wiretaps?
If you did a comparison between Bush d Kerry and what percent of the time they were in line with the teaching of the Catholic Church, Bush rated 10% and Kerry 80%.
I sincerely do not see how a Christian could support a morally corrupt president like Bush

Ah Ha! You have been fooled by the secular media's lies! That is what they want you to believe, and it is simply despicable that they falsely reported the document. They actually (and naturally) said that it is VITAL that Catholics vote PRO - LIFE! The media somehow twisted this and said that voting against abortion doesn't matter! As a Catholic, it makes me mad that the media can't even report unbiased fact anymore.
Here is the document:
http://www.usccb.org/faithfulcitizenship/FCStatement.pdf
A quote: "Abortion, the deliberate killing of a human being before birth, is never morally acceptable and must always be opposed."

We may not have a choice in the presidential election if all the candidates are in favor of abortion "rights". Guiliani could get the Republican bid, and then whoever is democrat and green is always pro-choice.

The American Bishops are a rogue organization that's had to be chastized on many occaisions by Rome for getting involved in election year Politics. They are a disgrace on this issue.

yes, which I find sinful. When I was a kid, priests and nuns held rallies @ abortion clinics,got arrested, held sit-ins, prayer vigils in town squares,etc. The Catholic Church is going to Hell in a hand basket! All in the name of politics, instead of God. As it were in the old days,sad. Not to mention the "church" is such a controlling cult they can tell their members how to vote and they ALL do as they are told. What a pernicious cult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
