Well done Donald.

“Abortions, I’m afraid will never be eliminated.”

Neither will rapes, but we outlaw them.

Here is the portion of the Catechism on that point: "2273 The inalienable right to life of every innocent human individual is a constitutive element of a civil society and its legislation: "The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority. These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin. Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being's right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death."80 "The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law. When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the very foundations of a state based on law are undermined. . . . As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child's rights."81" Another point Mr. Sanchez, if you are a Catholic, the Church requires that you be in favor of making abortion illegal.

Further, we didn't combat slavery by concerted efforts to reduce it. And we certainly wouldn't tolerate an administration that hired all pro-slavery people because we would know the direction such a president would be turning the ship. Killing people and enslaving them are to be eradicated in a civilized society. There is no other social program that can distract us from it. God Bless. Dennis,

With politicians like Obama in charge you are absolutely correct. To pro-lifers Mr. Sanchez every abortion kills a human being with just as much a right to life as you possess or I possess. A politician like Obama who celebrates abortion as a right is dedicated to perpetuating this evil. We are dedictated to stopping it. “Abortions, I’m afraid will never be eliminated.”

He wants to reduce abortions by supporting adoption and all his other issues are in complete concensus with Catholic Social doctrine and the Gospels. (help the poor). Abortion is the law of America and most other countries and this law has prevented numerous abortions in unsanitary, illegal locations or abortions performed by scared young girls with hangers or other devices. Lets decrease the number of abortions and support the living who are poor and vulnerable. Abortions, I'm afraid will never be eliminated.
