Frankly, the threat of the passage of the FOCA is primarily being used right now by the Republicans as a means to fear-monger pro-lifers into voting for McCain. A way to show some difference between Obama and the 'pro-life in name-only' Republican nominee.
Your right of course, it is a political tactic to distract us from the truth,… and if you are right, then in my opinion this act of conscience, is intrinsically evil itself,… and here is how I got there. But First a thought- Although I agree with your assessments I would offer another perspective, could it be an Obama or Democratic tactic? They know John McCain has no substance, conscience or will to combat this most important stance, because he “may lose some voters” by taking a firm stance against abortion or the Freedom of Choice Act. The proof is in the fact as you have previously stated,.. nothing was said at the Republican convention to bring Palin or John into an absolute firm position on the LIFE issue. –in silence. (Palins; acceptances speech) And in fact nothing but suggestion has been found in its place…by Christian leaders, no declaration, no affirmed statements, articles or recordings, other than his tortured and fleeting response with Rick Warren Saddleback Church. ..and here is how I got there. McCain would undoubtedly veto Freedom of Choice Act, Catholic leaders say
Denver, Jun 20, 2008 / 06:34 pm (CNA). After a meeting with Catholic leaders in Philadelphia last week, Sen. John McCain’s pro-life credentials are being questioned some pro-lifers who wonder if he would veto the Freedom of Choice Act, which if passed, would invalidate many of the laws that regulate abortion. Leaders who were present at the meeting informed CNA that they believe McCain would undoubtedly veto the bill. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) was most recently introduced on April 19, 2007 -- one day after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Partial Birth Abortion Act of 2003.
The Republican National Coalition for Life also was of the same opinion, saying, “The heart of the (FOCA) bill is a ban that would nullify all of the major types of pro-life laws that the Supreme Court has said are permissible under Roe v. Wade, including the ban on partial-birth abortions and bans on government funding of abortions.” … Deal Hudson, one of the leaders present at the meeting, informed CNA that when it came to McCain vetoing FOCA, “Nobody asked him that question. My view is that, of course, he would veto it." [ So Deal Hudson, millions of souls rest on your view—of John McCain. And shame on you for not asking the tough questions,..silence from both Hudson and John McCain on this issue reflects that neither have a “Good Conscience” (thought it through) on the LIFE issue. So much at risk and not a breath of evidence as to McCain’s conscience.. You can not serve two masters.(period)] 
Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life agreed with Hudson, saying, “I have no doubt that he would veto it.” [again if this is such a great risk, that it will tear the heart of Christ, why no affirmation? There should be no doubt of ones will, only battle scares.]
“Moreover, it’s so extreme, I really don’t think it would ever reach his desk, even if the Democrats increased their numbers in Congress,” Fr. Pavone said. [Tell it to Pontius Pilot] read more... http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=13011 * * * * * * * * * * *
It is in the public square, the bill has been written,. And waiting for January to be signed into law. You either fight now or die,... In the lie. For what other reason do we have public discourse? What? Proof our faith leaders have sold they’re and our souls,.. to silence. When they can’t even get a straight answer from the one that calls himself “Straight talk’n McCain” ---and the people mourned…Proverbs 29;2 The LIFE issue is that important--non negotiable Whether John McCain is for or against this question of conscience is not the issue.. leadership requires action, something he and others are terribly lacking. In fact this ‘guy’ would say that he has already set an example, and example of convenience and political advantage or expediency, With one word… Terri! Terri Schiavo!
Boy!, will Catholic leaders and all the Pro-LIFE organizations and leaders, supporting McCain become totally irrelevant when in January this bill is enacted. They, unlike AIP, are backing a candidate that can’t find it in his conscience to stand up, speak up, for righteousness, if not now, when….. Therein is,… two evils. Not lesser.
God have mercy on us all.
John McCain Meets With Catholic Leaders in Philadelphia
|
Before his remarks, McCain met privately with Rev. Frank Pavone, president of Priests for Life. Father Pavone's organization promotes voter education and registration throughout the nation, and his pro-life advocacy has been crucial in bringing the non-negotiable life issues to the attention of Catholic voters. –be it known “non-negotiable LIFE issues”???. McCain also brought up the subject of defending marriage, saying that some in the room may differ with his view that this decision should be taken up first in the states. "But," he added, "if some federal judge rules that all the states must recognize the [gay] marriages in Massachusetts, I would be in favor of pursuing a Constitutional amendment."

If they are non-negotiable, then why in “God’s” name is there no clarification from this leader or Palin as to they’re battle plan.?? Just “ifs”
Accordingly, all Catholics of “Good Conscience” have only one choice in this election. Vote or write in Alan Keyes. “All the devil needs, is just one soul” - Alan Keyes
