Pelosi 'pastor' asks to meet on abortion

Pelosi is just Catholic in name like Bill Clinton was Baptist. It's about time the church made a stand.

She should be given the right to choose... to choose whether to consider herself Catholic, denounce abortion, and receive communion; or to support abortion, give up her pretense to Catholisism, and be refused communion. Here are some facts that put the debate into a little perspective. Only 1% of abortions are performed to terminate a pregnancy that is the result of rape or incest. Only 3% of abortions are are performed to terminate a pregnancy that risks the health of the mother. Only 3% of abortions are are performed to terminate a pregnancy that evidences abnormal fetal development. 93% of all abortions are are performed to terminate a pregnancy that is unplanned, and the child is unwanted or deemed to be an inconvenience or burden. 54% of all unplanned pregnancies are aborted. 70% of abortions are performed on women who consider themselves Christian (Protestant and Catholic); 1.3% are Jewish; and 23.7% report no religious affiliation. More than 1.37 Million abortions are performed in the US every year. More abortions are performed every day in this country than all the US troop casualties in Iraq since the war began. That we kill our own unborn (3,700 every day) says mountains about our social, ethical and moral standards. This is a shameful acceptance of an ongoing evil, paraded as a "right." Calling infanticide "choice" is horrible and I can't help thinking that historians will look back at us and wonder at our culture of death and our schizophrenic mores. http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html

Excommunicate her instead. She sold her soul already when she manipulated the turnout of the primaries that now we are faced with a candidate who is least experienced and has questionable character and associations. She sold her country for party. Greed is the root of evil Pelosi.

Tolerance is trivial for those without convictions. Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth. NRA KMA$$

"""I regret the necessity of addressing these issues in so public a forum"" Hey if it's not too much trouble to get out of the bed with the poor little alter boys maybe you could do the job you took by choice to teach the church doctrine.. DEMAND A EQUAL TIME TO HELP OUT ALL THE CAFETERIA CATHOLICS ON MEET THE PRESS. I'm sorry it's a public forum but she used it to give her very special speech

After the 30 years of cafeteria Catholic, clown Mass confusion, thank God for Benedict. He is the right man at the right time. One might say Divinely inspired. His support for traditional Church Doctrine has freed long suppressed Church leaders who get it! (Like Archbishop George H. Niederauer). After years of considering abortion as just too personal an issue even to think about, Benedict has rightly demanded that Catholics, like myself, face it. Even in the toughest case, incest or rape, the issue now seems pretty clear to me. If you believe that life begins at conception, and that we are all created in God's image it becomes impossible to accept denying the baby, who has done nothing wrong, the right to life. Given the fact the so many couples who would be wonderful parents want to give these infants a loving home, in my view the answer is pretty clear. Amazingly, now comes the Palin family, with their beautiful baby Trig, to the discussion. He works in wondrous ways, indeed.

3 years ago I was at the funeral of my beloved Uncle at one of the churches in the Diocese of Santa Rosa. As an "icebreaker" type comment at the start of the funeral, the Priest said, I hope there are no Republicans here (clearly thinking there was no possibility) and my sister and I in the front row raised our hands. He ignored us and went on to tell a convoluted joke about a photographer seeing President Bush drowning. The punchline was something about letting him drown and getting your prize winning photo. It was so totally inappropriate in any situation, but in church at a funeral? I am not surprized that a parish priest in that diocese would think Nancy Pelosie is cool.

Baltimorefern, how do we stand on Capital punishment?

she is a heretic, her public statements show it. she should be excommunicated. better a few good Catholics than retreads like her, Kennedy, Kerry, etc.

You know this is crazy to me. Only God can judge a man or woman for their actions. Not a man. What if a murderer raped your wife, daughter, sister, or mother and become pregnant, would you welcome that baby? These people should have a choice in case of rape or incest. If you're going to stop abortions and let the death penalty continue in this country, something is wrong here. I call it a double standard! Save the unborn, but kill the people that are already living here. This is insane! A vote for McCain would also be insane!

What about the separation of Church and State? Does that not mean anything? Pelosi endorses abortion by law, just like many people do, because it should be a woman's choice to get an abortion or keep a baby. If you recall, back when abortion was illegal, many women were getting "butcher-shop" abortions, and many of these women died or suffered great physical disfigurement. I think it's absurd that Niederauer is even thinking about denying someone the practice of her religion over something that should be separated by the slowly blurring line of separation of Church and State.
