As the US bishops consider re-drafting their quadrennial text on voting, "Faithful Citizenship," they might want to consult the bishops of the United Kingdom whose election document is shorter and more pithy than the US one. 

At Millennial, Sarah Christian debunks the pro-choice claim that "no one is in favor of abortion." One of the things I have given up for Lent is putting up with RCs who simply can't stop looking for a way to let pro-choice politicians off the hook. No, it is not the only issue. No, it is not even an issue that ranks high when voting because I do not think anyone's vote is going to change the way our political and legal culture faces the issue, at least not anytime soon. But, we can start by not making arguments that provide cover for politicians who are trying to dodge the issue or surround it with mistaken ideas about the decision being a private one. 

Just when you think it can't get any worse in Iraq and Syria, ISIS kidnaps more Christians.
