Abortion and Jay the Priest


Enough!  Jay the Priest has about as much expertise regarding politics as Joe the Plumber.  Why has the MSM felt obligated to report on this guy's opinion as a Catholic priest when he's not an official spokesperson for the Catholic Church. He's not a bishop, never mind a cardinal.  He's little more then the french fry guy! 

The single issue voter should be discouraged by a church and society.  They fail to see the whole.  In this instance, the logic of the priest and these single issue voters is severely flawed.  Having abortions be legal does not guarantee that anyone will have an abortion.  It remains the choice of an individual.  We all know that whether abortions are legal or not, they will be sought.  An unwanted pregnancy is a desperate situation.  

Legalization does nothing to increase the frequency of abortions.  The truth is that Obama suggested we find ways to reduce the frequency of abortions, so what is wrong about that?While making abortions illegal may reduce the number of abortions, illicit back alley abortions have led to the deaths of many young woman.  Is it Christian to dismiss their lives?

John McCain supports the war.  He even sang about bombing Iran, leading some to refer to him as a war monger.  Going to war guarantees death.  It is a decision to impose death.  Allowing abortion is not the decision to impose death.  It merely allows a safer environment for the mother to survive.  Her choice will not likely be based on whether it is legal or not.

Jay the Priest, your fifteen minutes are up.  Alert the MSM.
