Buck in NM, not all practicing Catholics follow that practice - ohn Kennedy spoke on that, as did Ferraro (despite her recent wackiness), John Kerry and Joe Biden. How religion informs her judgement is definitely a fair question, though.

John Kerry and Joe Biden serve themselves only, not the church or the people. John Kennedy did speak and clarify his position, I don't remember Ferraro's statement. To me this is as bad as Regans astrolager. Both are bunkum. How can a Catholic woman not revoke Roe V Wade?
Because not all Catholics view the pope as god? Biden's stance in the VP debate was that he had his own beliefs on abortion, informed by his faith, but that it was wrong to impose them on others, who should be able to chose for themselves. I think something like 90% of American Catholics use birth control, too.

My problem with her is that she is a practicing Catholic. That means that she takes orders from the Pope, good ole Nazi assed Ratzo himself.
