    Opposing Views on voting for pro-abortion politicians

    {update: this debate is now live and the post below has been updated to reflect it...}

    I've been invited to contribute to the Opposing Views website by their editorial staff.
    OV strives to "encourage intelligent, thoughtful discussion where all viewpoints are respected", and has been featured in the New York Times and republished on FoxNews.com.
    I take the "No" position, and mention the (rare) exceptions where Catholics might vote for a pro-choice politician in this argument. I've also written:
    Joining me in the "No" position are authors from The Catholic Thing, and Deal Hudson.
    Taking the "Yes" position are Chris Korzen of Catholics United, Jon O'Brien of Catholics for a Free Choice, and Catholic Democrats. Pro-Life Pro-Obama evidently declined the invitation.
    I would urge you to consider joining the debate. You can post your own comments, vote in their poll and let other users know which side you agree with. I hope that when third parties see the discussion, they at least come away knowing that many Catholics are faithful to the teaching and witness of the Church on this important question.
