Kerry, Catholics, and Abortion
Saturday, April 24, 2004
US Senator John Kerry is under fire from some Roman Catholic leaders in Rome (and St. Louis) because of his pro-choice views. How do American Catholics view the issue of abortion? According to the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, “82% of Catholics think abortion should be legal, at least in some circumstances; specifically, 39% say a woman should be able to get an abortion if she decides she wants one, no matter what the reason.” If the Roman Catholic Church is going to ban pro-choice Catholics from taking communion there won’t be many people left to serve.
