Robert Novak, an excellent writer and Jewish convert to Catholicism, has written a timely piece called Kerry Losing Points With Catholics. Novak briefly addresses Kerry’s “litmus test” for federal judge appointees which, as former ambassador to the Vatican and former Democratic Boston mayor Raymond Flynn so publically noted is a promise to: “only support people to the Federal Judiciary who support killing unborn children.” There you have it: only pro-abortion people to the judiciary. I am no fan of Bush in general, but could never under any circumstance vote for Kerry. Apart from any other policy, his “litmus test” would be a disaster for the protection of the unborn.
