Catholic Gov. Granholm claims her faith inspires her to destroy embryos

I know. It's a shocking line when you put it that way.

Here's how she actually put it:

"As a Catholic, I can say to be pro-cure is to be pro-life." (MLive)

Well geez - that's not much better, is it?

By "Pro-cure," of course, she is actually describing "pro-embryonic creation and destruction" as laid out in Proposal 2.

I'll make no secret of the fact that I was very happy to leave radical pro-abortion, pro-ESCR Catholic Governor Jennifer Granholm back in Michigan when I moved to Washington DC last year.

I was up until last year forced to deal with her as best I could when she was more of a local problem, like when she bought ads in three Catholic newspapers in advance of election day.

One thing has changed since I left Michigan, however: Bishop Earl Boyea, who has published a letter entitled "How shall I cast my vote?" (where he opposes Prop 2 by name), who has added a section to the diocesan website called "2 goes 2 far - vote no on 2" and ... when he heard about Granholm's outrageous statement quoted above, responded as follows:

"Of course Catholics and all other responsible citizens will continue to seek cures for disease and injury, but to imply that proposal two is a valid expression of Catholic principles is shocking. Nothing could be further from the truth. Saint Paul reminds us that we must preach the truth in season and out of season. The truth will never go unspoken. To be in favor of proposal two is not to be pro life. A well formed Catholic conscience would never lead a person to support proposal two as a Catholic."

That makes me wish I was back in Michigan, because Proposal 2 is in the lead among voters.
