Is the Other OMalley Running for Prez? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: O'Malley and Biden will likely run if Hillary takes a Grandma pass. That could be interesting. One would hope that either of these men, who are Catholic, might let abortion become an issue and explain using small words why Roe v. Wade will never and should never be overturned (repeat the civil war anyone?) while pointing out how much the pro-life movement is a scam to energize the GOP, and not much else. While some federal legislation is possible (state level action is not - read the 14th Amendment on who can change the terms of natural born citizenship - its clearly Congress, not the states), the very real complications having to do with adding to medical malpractice and criminality to a time in pregnancy where miscarriage is frequent make anything short of the status quo unlikely to be enacted into law - and the GOP will never do that - not because of their commitment to the unborn but because of their commitment to shaking down and turning out pro-life voters - or at least keeping pro-life Democrats at home. I absolutely look forward to a Catholic candidate who is well briefed and has the Gravitas to settle this issue once and for all.
The other possibility is O'Malley may be running for Biden's job.
