  Is Voting Pro-Choice, Anti-Catholic?

  The reason I don't think voting for Obama is anti-Catholic is that we are called to look at all the issues not just this one issue. Which candidate stands for a respect for life and a culture of life? For me this was Obama. Obama opposed an irresponsible, unecessary war that has cost many American, Iraqi and other lives.  Obama is also for stricter gun control.  Obama's proposal were more in line with caring for the least of these, the working poor who are struggling everyday to make a living and support their families.  Obama also has showed a true respect for other people and other cultures which the Church supports, for education, and healthcare. All of which show the kindness, love of neighbor and respect for family and life that we are called to as Catholics and Christians. There are other ways to decrease the numbe of abortions as well that don't include the government making them illegal. Education programs, adoption and support programs and creating a culture that more strongly value life would all help with decreasing abortion rates and are all things the church and our communities can be doing.
