BALTIMORE - Roman Catholics voting in the 2008 elections must heed church teaching when deciding which candidates and policies to support, U.S. bishops said Wednesday
And while the church recognizes the importance of a wide range of issues — from war to immigration to poverty — fighting abortion should be a priority, the bishops said.
“The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life is always wrong and is not just one issue among many,” the bishops said
Re: abortion must be a deciding factor for voting???
didnt some bigshot christian leader endorse Guiliani? i think toughness in WOT is the deciding factor for the christian vote. right now they endorse Fred Thompson, but hes unlikely to win the nomination. Thereafter it will be who wants to bomb the bearded folk the most .

You have to look at the true beleifs of the Catholic Church...they truly feel that abortion is murder so a politician who will fight to uphold the legality of abortion is, in the eyes of those beleivers, a murderer. Thats why its such an issue for them.
