U.S. Bishops Right to Make Abortion the Top Political Issue for Catholic Voters

Late last year, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops put out its strongest statement yet about the need for American voters to avoid voting for candidates who refuse to defend the sanctity of human life. This document urged Americans to involve their consciences in politics, a novel concept for some folks. The document, entitled Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, was released by the USCCB as a sort of "open letter" to American Catholics, advising them on the morality of certain important political issues. The document urged them not to submit to the moral pluralism that has infected so many otherwise sensible people. The guidelines put in place by the American bishops are relentlessly clear; so specific that even the most committed loophole-searcher would be hard-pressed to dodge them. Abortion is the central human rights issue in the U.S. today. While the United States is not guilty of institutionalized genocide or torture, over 4,000 abortions take place within her borders each day. Remember, when election time rolls around, that the pro-life issue is always paramount. Consistently voting for life does not make Catholics and other Christians single-issue voters.
