Not In Good Conscience

Kerry would perpetuate a great evil.

Robert P. George and Gerard V. Bradley dismantle and refute the position of Mark W. Roche, dean of the College of Arts and Letters at Notre Dame, whose essay was published in the New York Times on Monday. The link to Roche's illogical mental gymnastics, in an attempt to justify how a Catholic could vote for Kerry in utter defiance of right reason and Catholic morality, is posted below.
Roche is right that abortion is in our day what slavery was in Lincoln's. To vote for John Kerry in 2004 would be far worse, however, than to have voted against Lincoln and for his Democratic opponent in 1860. Stephen Douglas at least supported allowing states that opposed slavery to ban it. And he did not favor federal funding or subsidies for slavery. John Kerry takes the opposite view on both points when it comes to abortion. On the great evil of his own day, Senator Douglas was merely John Kerry-lite.
