The abortion industry makes the horrors that happened in Hitlers work camps pale by comparison. You’d think a Supreme Court comprised with six Catholics would overturn Roe v Wade, right? Wrong! E.g. look how John Roberts went out of his way to find a way to make the anti-Catholic Obama-care legal. Moreover 51% of so-called Catholics voted for the explicitly anti-Catholic Obama in the last election. True, that’s down from 54% of Catholics that voted for him in 2008 but still—.

Really? And letting all those millions of unborn live at various levels of provetry, humliation, and suffering throughout their lives is any better?
Oh wait, I forgot that your God love to see humanity suffer, since it brings more glory to him.

Why? Roe v. Wade isn't based on the religious beliefs of the judges; it's based on the Constitution.
Except, you know, Planned Parenthood does more than anyone to prevent abortions, but that's one of those inconvenient facts that aren't allowed at Moonbattery.
"look how John Roberts went out of his way to find a way to make the anti-Catholic Obama-care legal"
He had to go out of his way to do his job?
Well, most catholics are way more liberal than the governing body of the catholic church, my father included, so its not terribly surprising.
Actually, there has always been an undercurrent of anti-Catholicism in the US, going back to Colonial days. That's why it's so extra-special stupid for Catholics to team up with the religious right. I remember my older relatives freaking out when JFK was elected. Just as soon as they take care of the Jews they'll come for you mackerel-snapping idol worshipers.
anti-Catholic Obamacare??
Wait, wait... I've heard many Catholic organizations 'round the world are giving free health care to people in especially dire situations - That's the same as government health care, just given by a religious body.

It's because of many of the colonists left England, which perescuted Catholics after Henry the 8th kicked them out when the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Ann Boleyn. England went back under Catholic rulers for short periods a couple of times after that, and in those days, the rulers usually tried to force the people to convert to their flavor of Christianity. If you didn't convert, you were persecuted and even executed. So they kind of flip flopped between the Church of England persecuting the Catholics (along with other Protestant sects) and vice versa.
This was a huge reason behind the First Amendment.
Yes, a medical procedure in a sterile office is far, far worse than actual people being crammed into cattle cars and hauled off to be gassed, slowly starved to death or incinerated alive.
Fuck. You.
Why is it always the Nazi comparisons?
Yes, because letting women make some kind of choice about their lives and bodies is totally worse than millions of people being separated from everyone you ever knew, forced labour, starvation, horrific experiments, and mass prolonged undignified deaths and having to live with the knowledge that one day it will be your turn.
"explicitly anti-Catholic Obama"
I guess I missed the part where he said "Damn, I sure do hate Catholics." Or you missed the part where the word "explicitly" actually means something.
This is giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you could, in fact, argue that he was somehow implicitly anti-Catholic, which isn't really true either.

No, because they make their decisions according to the US Constitution, not canon law. That's what it says in the oath of office. That's why the US Senate has a confirmation hearing, to ensure that the Justices will follow their interpretation of the Constitution, not the dictates of their personal beliefs. A few months ago, no doubt, DJ was telling those who would listen that Mitt Romney would not let his Mormon beliefs affect his decisions as President.
@ScrappyB
You got the gist of it right, but Henry VII was pissed because the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so he could MARRY Anne Boleyn.
it's a small point, but I'm studying that time period right now, so I'm sensitive to the facts.
It's almost like most Catholics don't buy into the official rhetoric of the church. Actually, when you get to know the large number of Catholics who are pro-choice, you start to get a pretty good idea at how many don't believe every word the Vatican says.
But it's really pathetic when people try to make themselves out to be treated worse than the Jews in Nazi Germany.

"That's why it's so extra-special stupid for Catholics to team up with the religious right. "
This started in 180, when several retarded religions realised modern society was a bigger threat to them than the other religions, so they started a club called Moral Majority and joined forces against that society.
Yes, the walls and ceilings of health clinics are scarred with scratch marks because women are forced into these places to get procedures they do not want.
Even if someone finds some sort of moral objection to abortion, any rational person realizes it is necessary for women to have access to legal abortion to prevent deaths, injuries, and occurrences of unsafe abortions. I get that fundies and conservatives don't care that much about women's lives and health in general, but still.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
