Dear Administrator:

I voted against Clinton in the Democratic primary of 1992, precisely because of this abuse of the death penalty.

There is a difference betweeen direct and indirect association with an act. There is a difference between advocacy of no-laws prohibting an action from advocacy of the action itself.

Huh?
Bans on elective abortions after viability are possible now! Such bans are enacted in PA and OH.
The likelihood is vansihingly small that election Bush vs Kerry will change this.

On January 6, 2001, at the concluding mass of the Jubilee, John Paul II personally gave communion to Francesco Rutelli, a practicing Catholic and a premier center-left candidate for this year�s planned elections in Italy.

Rutelli had been, as a member of the Radical Party, one of the most active supporters of Italy�s abortion law, which is among the most permissive in the world. And he continued, as a Catholic, to maintain publicly �pro-choice� positions.

In Italy during the 1970�s, other left-wing politicians even more closely connected than Rutelli with the Catholic sector, such as Piero Pratesi and Raniero La Valle, had given strong support to the introduction of the abortion law. But they were never denied communion. It was never even discussed!
