Jim, you have asked an interesting question. I just spent a good deal of time when I should have been watching the Super Bowl looking into the history of the Pro Life movement. It is very hard to determine when the term was first used.

First, let me tell you that I am opposed to abortion, most especially when it used as a method of birth control. Let me answer your question in this way. I don't feel you are hypocritical, so long as you make the distinction between anti abortion, and pro life, as in believing in the sanctity of life. If one believes that all life is sacred, then one will not condone the death penalty. I could go on and on, but it is important to make that distinction. As a Roman Catholic, I challenge conservative Priests on this issue all the time.

As to the economics, once again the Word speaks to this. "As ye do to the least among you, so you do to me". The implications for economic policies are pretty clear.

I am going to continue my research. Thanks, buddy,for screwing up Super Bowl Sunday.........hahahahaha.
