any view I want to push for any reason I want to push it. Just like you can do likewise if you were an atheist and wanted to shove your atheist agenda down the throats of religious people. If a majority of Americans vote for pro-life politicians and those pro-life politicians propose and confirm Supreme Court justices that are strict constructionists and recognize that Roe v Wade made up out of whole cloth a right in the Constitution that does not exist then it could be vacated. And then states would be free to ban abortion if they decided it was in the compelling interest of its citizens and there wouldn't be a thing you and the other purveyors of the culture of death can do about it. So don't lecture me about what I can and can't do simply because my beliefs are derived from my Christian world view because you are just wrong.

As for my analogy, the lack of intelligence is on your part because you apparently have a problem reading. What you don't seem to understand, and I am typing very slowly so you can get it, is that I don't see any difference between a two-week old baby in the womb, a ten year old, someone who is 30, 40, 50 or 100 years old. They all deserve to be protected from murder. If you believe it is a bundle of cells or a blob of tissue or whatever mental gyrations you take to justify your world view then you would logically come to a different conclusion, even if I think it is wrong. My goal is to convince enough people that can see the difference so we can end this awful thing called abortion.

As for my views on the Pope's recent encyclical I have not read it but I will at some point. But I can assure you that nowhere in that document does the Holy Father say that opposing socialism or government takeover of health care is a mortal sin like he has about abortion (as have the College of Cardinals and the Bishops). Although Pope John Paul II indicated that Catholics should oppose capital punishment nowhere did he say that agreeing with capital punishment is a mortal sin. I oppose capital punishment because his argument for doing so makes perfect sense. So your view of that encyclical and being a cafeteria Catholic is just plain wrong......nice try though.
