Of course, the Supreme Court's decision last week upholding the federal ban on partial-birth abortions has Catholic angles, especially since the majority opinion consists of the 5 Catholic justices, and it may represent some form of conversion for Justice Anthony Kennedy. If you're interested:
This article (HT The Corner) covers and refutes biased claims that the majority justices "have failed to respect the fundamental difference between religious belief and morality” (as described by University of Chicago former dean and provost Geoffrey Stone). At the end of this article, I learned that Justice Thomas had converted from Episcopalism to Catholicism since his selection to the Court.
This First Things recap and Fr. Neuhaus' reflections make me wish I was smart. For now, I'll settle for seeing the truths of the Church revealed as the consequences of following Roe v. Wade to its logical conclusions unfold before us. All life is sacred...always has been, always will be.
