Atlanta Archbishop, John Donoghue, issued a letter yesterday telling Catholics that abortion must outweigh every other issue at the polls, reports Gayle White of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

His letter follows similar memorandum released this summer by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the controversy that followed the interpretation of one of Ratzinger's letters, which was construed to conditionally allow support of pro-choice candidates.
