But politically, I'm pro-choice because banning it won't make it disappear instantly and then we go back to wire hangers and more women dying due to faulty clinics. So you may as well keep it safer for those that aren't Catholic/pro-life/etc and let them deal with God when they get to the pearly gates.
I didn't want to turn this into this type of debate, but like PMMama said, who are you to judge?

Who said anything about judging, other than PMMama? There is a BIG line between educating and judging. Did I EVERY say that ANYONE is going to Hell, excommunicated, etc? NO - nor was it ever implied on my part.
To say that you are pro-choice is considered a sin of ommission (this IS a fact) because you are not doing anything to stop the killing of babies - and would YOU like to justify your stance to Jesus when YOU get to the pearly gates? No, abortions will not stop overnight - they have been going on for millenia. But that does not make them morally right. You actually CANNOT separate your religion from politics. Your religious background formed your moral code. You cannot TRULY separate your religion from politics like you cannot TRULY separate your right hand from your left - they are still connected until you cut one off completely.
