Abortion in Va Gov's Race | National Catholic Reporter

Abortion in Va Gov's Race | National Catholic Reporter by Michael Sean Winters.  MGB: Both of the major candidates are Catholic.  Under one, the number of abortions will increase - largely because benefits to the poor will decrease.  This same candidate rather illegally went after existing clinics through strong arming the state board of health.  This action will likely be reversed when the dust settles - so he has done nothing but attract attention to himself.  Pandering is not the same thing as standing up for life.  Making abortion unnecessary by increasing benefits for families - especially educational benefits for the less than fully literate in English is a much better route to decrease abortion.  Too bad the Virginia Catholic Conference is not wise enough to see it this way.  They seem to be wholly owned by the GOP - especially in my diocese.
