Just surfed over from Left Blogistan. There's a key point being missed here. Whatever you may think about Amanda Marcotte, the other woman in question, Melissa McEwan has been severely libeled by those who lumped her in as an "Anti-Catholic bigot." There are no legitimate grounds whatsoever to make that assessment of her. Scalp-hunting is, unfortunately, a bipartisan pastime, but carelessly dishonest smearing is inexcusable.
Furthermore, abortion is a political issue, and to refer to any criticism of Catholic doctrine on the issue as "bigotry" is akin to calling criticism of Jesse Jackson's political agenda "racist." It's absurd. Marcotte went over the line with her vulgar mischaracterizations of Catholic dogma, not with the substance of her political criticism. Let's get that straight.
There's more I would love to say, but for the sake of civil argument I'll leave it at that.
