...Re-Opens Catholic Wound"
Biden's own bishop, Bishop Michael Saltarelli of Wilmington, Del., has said that the issues pertaining to the sanctity of human life are the "great civil rights issues of this generation."
Bishop Saltarelli denounced the notion that politicians can 'personally oppose' abortion, but refuse to pass laws protecting the unborn.
"No one today would accept this statement from any public servant: 'I am personally opposed to human slavery and racism but will not impose my personal conviction in the legislative arena.' Likewise, none of us should accept this statement from any public servant: "I am personally opposed to abortion but will not impose my personal conviction in the legislative arena," said Bishop Saltarelli.
John McCain: please, please, please choose a strongly pro-life running mate. I honestly think pro-life Catholics are going to be the difference in this election.
Things are about to get interesting in the "religion and politics" realm!
BTW: I'm obviously back from self-imposed exile. Got a lot of household stuff done, but in the process found where a bunch of water had run under our foundation. Next comes insurance adjustors, quotes from contractors, and me trying not to lose it. *sigh*
Oh, and MM and the girls got home safely last night, thanks be to God!

I don't know. If Obama's appalling record doesn't turn you off to voting for him, I'm a little unclear why Biden's position on abortion would tip the scale.
The prolife Dem senators are:
Ben Nelson of Nebraska
Harry Reid of Nevada,
Mark Pryor of Arkansas
Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania
which is rather slim pickins -- as if the big O would have chosen any of them!
Bill Ritter is a prolife Dem, which surprised me.
