Catholic Church - If you are Pro-Life, then you should be FOR Gun Control.

Ohhh - this is gonna be good!!

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/01/23/1487571/catholic-leaders-pro-life-politicians-guns/

Snips....

A group of 60 Catholic clergy, theologians, and social justice leaders are calling on “pro-life” members of Congress — such as Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) — to focus on gun violence prevention as part of their moral commitment to sanctity of human life.

Noting that thousands of Catholics will gather in Washington, DC this week for the National March for Life, an annual anti-abortion protest that commemorates the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the group of religious leaders is encouraging leaders in Congress to “show greater moral leadership and political courage” in confronting the dangers posed by Americans’ current access to military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.....

Unlike assault rifles, abortion services are already heavily regulated by state-level restrictions. In fact, in several states across the country, it’s easier to get a gun than it is to get an abortion.

In reality, they are all pro-birth. Past that, they could care less what happens to the child. It allows them to be against social programs, health care, and even gun laws.
