I had an odd experience this morning. I had just exited morning Mass and Adoration when another attendee approached me. She said she was trying to get people to come say the Rosary one day a week at the local abortion clinic. I said that we did pray for an end to abortion especially with the president we currently have in the White House. The woman immediately reared up and said, "We won't go into THAT now, but I respect and admire the present we now have in the White House." I said that since obama had taken office, he had lifted all the bans on abortion that President Bush had set in place so MORE babies are being killed than when President Bush was in the White House.
The woman said that she didn't believe that was all true about obama and abortion. She also said that some number or the other of babies were aborted last year and THEY weren't obama's fault. I said a president can't overturn Roe v. Wade so they weren't President Bush's fault, either. She dismissed that statement as it didn't fit into her brain washed mind set.
The whole interlude left me shaking in disbelief. Now, I know there are liberal 'catholics' like that but it was my first, face-to-face encounter. I just couldn't figure out how she could be aware of the abortion issue and not have the intelligence to check out the facts regarding obama's take on the matter. I guess I'm finally getting a glimpse into how the Catholic vote pushed the current administration into place for our country.
Guess I will have to avoid this woman in the future because I'm pretty sure that slapping sense into people is probably against the law! : - ) How anyone can be against abortion but support the current source of advancing abortion policy is beyond me. The woman should be ashamed of herself but, instead, she is a smug patriot . . . while babies continue to die on HER watch.
