The Point: Are We or Aren't We?

re: Anne Morse writes: "Last week I quoted a piece posted in The Catholic Register titled "No Deal, Rudy," in which Mark O'Malley says Catholics voters should not support a pro-abortion presidential candidate even if he does promise to appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court. O'Malley also said the U.S. has "built the first abortion businesses in Afghanistan and Iraq, ever. Shamefully, our taxes paid to build and operate a Baghdad abortion clinic...And that happened under a pro-life president. What would a pro-abortion president do?" /O'Malley may have seen this bogus Washington Post piece (scroll all the way down) claiming that the U.S. is building abortion clinics in Iraq because so many U.S. servicemen rape Iraqi women in their spare time, with the approval of their superior officers...[snip]...The Catholic Register has, since last week, cut out the lines about the U.S. funding and building abortion clinics...[snip]... but the piece continues to claim the U.S. "brought the first abortion business to Afghanistan ever." (The original version of the story is reprinted here.) If this is true--and I wish the Register would provide documentation--it is, as I noted before, disturbing news..."...
