11. Militant Vatican
The new Pope is threatening Catholic politicians on this issue. I say that as a lapsed Catholic who is pro choice. Both Casey and Santorum are both Catholics. Who has the backbone to stand against Rome if they are threatened with denial of Communion or excommunication? We all know where Santorum stands. No question. Casey is an unknown. Could he stand the pressure from Rome?

I don't live in Pennsylvania so the choice is not up to me. I live in, according to the Freepers, the abortion state of the country. It was this way before Roe and would probably be so if it is overturned.

As one New York CATHOLIC Republican State Legislator stated, who sponsored the bill to make the Morning After Pill OTC, "I was elected as the representative of ALL the people, not as a Catholic Bishop". We meed more legislators like him. No matter their Party.

ASK Casey about whether he would buck Rome on this issue. Santorum? Forget him. He is in another world totally. Cuddling with DEAD Fetuses? UGH!!!!!
