Abortion is similarly a dead issue, because if the 20-week ban cannot pass the House it will never see the light of day in the Senate. The obscene thing is that these values Catholics and Evangelicals won’t even consider what Pope Pius XI says about fighting abortion using a family sensitive wage backed by tax policy. They see that as paying people not to kill their children and subsidizing other people’s sexuality. In other words, NARAL is right, it is about controling women’s bodies and it’s not Catholic.

That the usual Catholic right-wingers were there is no shock. One wonders about their appearance fees. This event has devolved into entertainment for and by the usual suspects. It is hardly worth covering.
