Gotta love the twisted irony in someone piling together that sentence.
She has no concern for the right of the unborn, and she has opposed the death penalty!
Someone can really say that in one and the same sentence like that, as if there's a perfectly normal logical consistency behind it?
And oh yes, a Roman Catholic who opposes the death penalty - like the Pope does! How weird is that?
Maybe its the same kind of incongruousness or dishonesty that would attribute the statement to Foxfyre and talk about it as if Foxfyre wrote it?
But you fail to mention that the Pope also defends the rights of the innocent unborn. The writer that you quoted, who wasn't Foxfyre, quite correctly pointed out that a Catholic who is not pro life but is against the death penalty is perhaps more inconsistent than would be say an Atheist furthering such opinions.
The opinion piece, however, was not a discussion of Catholicism or the death penalty or abortion but what the voters should expect of a Speaker Pelosi. Admittedly, the thesis of these things frequently seem to escape highly partisan persons.
