Abortion never saves a woman's life

Pragmatism vs. principle: what to do with Mitt--by Stephen Stone

In Minnesota, there is a campaign to secure a one man one woman marriage by state Constitutional amendment. There are yard signs across Minnesota asking people to vote Yes to the Marriage Amendment. Right next to these signs are Romney/Ryan signs. When I ask people Do you realize that Romney legislated sodomitic acts in Massachusetts? You would think people would be shocked when they learn the truth. The response? THE BIG YAWN. How can a person vote (rightly) for the Marriage Amendment and then encourage people to vote for Romney, someone who, according to Mass Resistance, legislated sodomitic acts in Massachusetts?

Also in Minnesota, there was a person who ran on a third-party ticket for Governor of Minnesota. He defeated the Republican Party candidate and the DFL Party candidate. Enough people believed that the third-party candidate could win, and he did. His name was Jesse Ventura, and he beat out St. Paul Mayor Norm Coleman and Attorney General Skip Humphrey. Stephen Stone has brilliantly pointed out the hypocrisy of those who say a third-party vote or write-in is the same as voting for Mickey Mouse, which is emotional gibberish and not logic. Don't Waste Your Vote on a Loser by Stephen Stone

Stone points out that if that were the case, all Democrats in Utah are wasting their vote, as there’s no way that a Democrat will win against Romney in Utah. Is the Democrat Party discouraging people from voting in Utah? Taking that same logic trek, no Republican should vote in Illinois, because chances are very high that Obama will take Illinois. Is the Republican Party discouraging their Republican voters not vote in Illinois? After all, wouldn’t it be a wasted vote?

If you think Romney is the only person standing between America and tyranny, your hopes are misplaced. Romneycare is the template for Obamacare; Romney legislated sodomitic acts in Massachusetts; Romney legislated anti-Catholic legislation; Romney is for abortion in the case of rape, incest and "health" of the mother, which is no different than Obama/Biden; Romney has a long record of socialist tendencies. What's terribly obvious is that Obama is "honest" about his evil positions; Romney is dishonest about his evil actions and legislation. If flip-flopping was bad for John Kerry, it certainly should be bad for Romney.

People claim that Romney is now pro-life. When I ask them the following questions, I, again, receive THE BIG YAWN:

1. Why did Romney turn “pro-life”? (YAWN)

2. What proof do you have that he is now pro-life? (YAWN)

3. Has he publicly repented of the evil legislation he implemented against the Catholic Church? (YAWN)

4. Has he publicly repented of the evil legislation of continuing abortion and all its evil tentacles? (YAWN)

5. Has he publicly repented of being instrumental in legislating sodomitic “marriage” in Massachusetts?( YAWN)

6. What proof do you have that Romney will be any different than Obama? (YAWN)

Blessed Mother Teresa said: A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope. Until this nation converts back to God, we deserve God’s Wrath, and we deserve to be punished. I will not sell my vote for 30 pieces of silver.

Be courageous and Vote No to the culture of death no matter what words are used to disguise evil. Viva Christo Rey!

I will not sell my vote for 30 pieces of silver. Will you? Viva Christo Rey!

I will not sell my vote for 30 pieces of silver—not for Obama nor for Romney. No amount of superstitious dire consequences, threats, calumny, warning of the sky falling or finger wagging will entice me to be bribed with 30 pieces of silver to betray the Catholic Church and violate my conscience.

I have been disparagingly called a “purist.” It is a badge of honor to be labeled a "purist." I would much rather be a “purist” than “impure.” I have been told that by not drinking the Republican Party kool-aid and voting for Romney, my third-party or write-in vote is a vote for Obama. Since this is a false statement, this is possibly calumny, slander or detraction.

Calumny Slander Detraction

I've also seen it written that we must vote for the one most conservative that can win. When questioned as to where in Catholic doctrine this cite is to be found, I receive THE BIG YAWN. The most heinous vote ever taken was with a question: Jesus or Barabbas? The crowd chose Barabbas. The Best was crucified. So much for public opinion.

There is always danger in speculating or making presumptions about the future. One could even say speculation is superstitious. We can only judge actions, not words. There is potential scandal in aligning with someone who believes that abortion is allowed in, essentially, all circumstances, no matter how words are spoken to potentially deceive. Ryan appears to have acquiesced, compromised, is lukewarm. If there wasn't a potential scandal with public perception, why the outrage with Obama (and Romney) with Cardinal Dolan? All the "ifs" and "buts" in the world can't erase the potential public scandal of the perception that someone is compromising or lukewarm. We don't "win" with Romney/Ryan--we lose. And preborn children will continue to lose--their lives.

I will not sell my vote for 30 pieces of silver. Will you? Viva Christo Rey!

“This is a big moment for Catholic voters to step back from their party affiliation,” said Archbishop Lori. “The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances? If that’s the case, a Catholic, regardless of his party affiliation, shouldn’t be voting for such a person.”--Archbishop William Lori

We’ve had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence!~~St. Catherine of Siena

If people are scandalized at the Truth, it is better to allow the birth of scandal, than to abandon the Truth.~~Pope St. Gregory the Great

"... So we choose the lesser evil, thinking we have been saved from the great evil, when all the while satan's real purpose was to bring about the evil we have chosen... ." "The Father's Tale", p. 496, Michael O'Brien

Battle of the Catholic Veeps

Battle of the Catholic Veeps "...As for Rep Paul Ryan’s answer to the same question. I liked how he took it out of the area of theology to that of science and added a personal story to illustrate the humanity of the unborn. He then went on to say: “The policy of a Romney administration will be to oppose abortions with the exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.” Now many will defend him saying this since it is not politically pragmatic to oppose this area of abortion. After all the Executive Branch is not the Legislative Branch and it will take an overturning of Roe V. Wade before any legal movement against abortion will occur. Plus even if it is overturned it will then become a matter for the states and not the Federal government. So practically there really will not be an opportunity to oppose abortion in these circumstances. So I understand the practical arguments and I thank God he saints were not so pragmatically practical. This viewpoint would say that St. Thomas More should have just gone along and signed away his conscience since it wasn’t politically practical for him to oppose his friend King Henry VIII. Instead we get a statement that an intrinsically evil act will not be opposed even generally. This also continues to enforce that opposing abortion for these exceptions is extreme when it is extreme to murder someone for the sin of their father. In some ways Ryan’s statement parallels Biden’s in that Ryan is personally opposed to these exceptions, but won’t impose it on others."
