Catholics for Obama/Abortion

Typical Obama--soothing talk, but Leftie reality. The Catholic League here. Bill McGurn, WSJ:
A few months ago, his Catholic advisory council was announced with great enthusiasm, and Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) was listed as a national co-chair. His appearance at the top of the council sent a clear message: This campaign is determined to recover some of the lost Democratic sheep who have gravitated to the GOP over abortion.

This council does indeed include some Catholics whose pro-life credentials are impeccable, including Minnesota Congressman James Oberstar. But let us also stipulate the obvious: Of the 21 senators, congressmen and governors listed on the council's National Leadership Committee, 17 have a 90%-100% NARAL approval rating. Even Mr. Casey now enjoys a 65% NARAL approval rating.

And of course Democrat leader and the shameless Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois is among Obama's abortionist lobby.

UPDATE: Related story on abortion for profit Planned Parenthood push into suburbia--going after the upscale Obama voter, at essentially taxpayer expense. (Aurora, IL among them.)
