Can Catholics Vote For Pro-Choice Politicians?

Can Catholics Vote For Pro-Choice Politicians?

“They don’t vote as a block anymore.” These words were recently spoken by Monsignor Joseph Rebman about Catholic voters. Once a powerful demographic, Catholics today are bitterly divided over whether it is acceptable to vote for pro-choice politicians. Many Catholics are proudly progressive, but others insist that abortion is non-negotiable. What are the spiritual implications of a Catholic vote?

    Forced to pay???

    WE are forced to pay for born-unwanted´s,
    WE are forced to pay for slow and painful dying still,
    so - why should the faithheads NOT be treated equally and pay for what THEY do not want (or never need, if male!!!)?

    But am I talking to the enthusiasts of the penal law here?
    If there is any "common ground" on personal matters, it can only be NO penal law, everyBODY decides over his or her OWN body, and health insurance pays for a limited amount of the most costly decisions (like IVF), but all of the not-so-expensives seen in the long run.
