Douglas Kmiec, law professor at Pepperdine University, and once dean of
Catholic University's law school, a staunch Republican, and firm foe of
abortion, was denied communion recently... why? To the the shock of his
friends and family (and apparently priest), he is supporting Barack Obama
for President.

"In an interview over the weekend, Kmiec argued that 35 years after Roe,
opponents of abortion need to contemplate whether "a legal prohibition" of
abortion "is the only way to promote a culture of life."

"To think you have done a generous thing for your neighbor or that you have
built up a culture of life just because you voted for a candidate who says
in his brochure that he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade is far too thin an
understanding of the Catholic faith," he said. Kmiec, a critic of the Bush
administration's Iraq policy, added that Catholics should heed "the broad
social teaching of the church," including its views on war. "
