Oh, and I love the nuns on a bus. I think their focus on service and reducing poverty speak to the heart of the most important church teachings.

How about war? Just curious if/when you justify taking a human life.

I'm sort of catholic....raised catholic, pro choice, pro gay marriage, etc. And pro life like the nuns on the bus.
Rock on, Sisters!
What church do you attend?

I'm prolife to a point. Raised Catholic who sometimes practices.
Not a fan of abortion especially after 25 weeks when there is viability or when there is termination because of something that is compatible with life.
Incompatible with life, extreme circumstances, I can understand. Not that I'm crazy about it.
Not a fan of the death penalty either. But then there are crimes against children that make me want to rip the offenders guts out with my bare hands and a grapefruit spoon. Not that I would.

It's not "pro-life." It's "anti-abortion." Use the correct terminology.

Google nuns on the bus or catholic network. Sister Simone has been on Jon Stewart. She is a highly effective advocate for the poor. Honestly, I wish the nuns on the bus could run their own parish....then I'd be inclined to attend their masses where I could be more fully engaged in their advocacy. For the record, I am a public interest lawyer doing advocacy related to homelessness and poverty...and these ladies are my heroes. They have shown me that I can still be a good catholic on my own terms by pursuing social justice.

I predict a lot of dishonest answers.
Why bother if you have already decided you know the answer and will disbelieve anyone who fails to affirm your views?

Please define pro-life, first.
