   Hello Aaron,

   Is Joe Biden a Sir Knight? I know that he is a Catholic and pro-life.   
      
   Carl Anderson:   
   Generally, we don't comment upon membership status, but Sen. Biden   
   is not a member of the Knights of Columbus, and in terms of pro-life   
   matters, the National Right to Life Committee has rated him as 0.   
      
                       -=end quote=-   
      
   This quote was from 2008.   
      
   Carl Anderson is/was Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus.   
   I presume the same policy remains today.   
      
   Jeb Bush has publicly stated he is a member   
   of the Knights of Columbus. So has John Kerry.   
   And a number of other politicians.   
      
   All are pro-life.   
      
   The Knights of Columbus is a religious organization, open to   
   men who are practicing Catholics. Makes no difference what their   
   political affiliation may be.   
      
   Of course, it could be Joe Biden has become a member since 2008.   
   And it could also be that Joe Biden is very much pro life, as every   
   person has his/her own opinion as to what qualifies as being pro life.   
      
   So what the hell does anybody know who is, and who is not, a member   
   of the Knights of Columbus? And why should anybody care?   
      
   "First, do no harm."   
      
   Perhaps Mr. Anderson (and his National Right to Life Committee) can   
   remind those prisoners on life row how much he loves the death penalty.   
   And then maybe, just maybe, he can figure out what being pro-life is   
   all about, and really means.
