How NOT To Promote the Pro-Life Cause | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Sadly, this is the kind of clap-trap we expect from Fr. McCoskey.  More sadly, in the recent past such nonsense would get him a promotion to bishop.  Let us hope this is no longer the case.  He does draw an interesting distinction on the standard Pro-Life Strategy.  It is to make the same mistake we made with slavery by overturning Roe and having abortion states and anti-abortion states (if they were pro-life, they would have local subsidies to families that would discourage abortion).  That would again create a cessessionist movement.  This is EXACTLY why Roe should not go anywhere and why the movement is a scam.  MSW is correct in that GOP governors don't run on being anti-abortion - although there is usually a nod and a wink among the faithful in their base that they are.  The tragedy IS that they are such fiscal conservatives in such a way as to never support the economic assistance to families mentioned above that WOULD reduce abortion.  That is why we call them anti-abortion and not pro-life.
