Catholic Politicians

This page is going to be an on-going effort.  On it, I plan to discuss the moral obligation Catholic politicians have as elected officials.  Additionally, I will start to list all politicians who claim to be Catholic. This is going to be a long process, but I hope it to be informative.
I am trying to use either websites or speeches to determine if a politician is pro-life or not.
Please provide me with any changes, updates, or information you have.

Joe Biden, Vice President
