Why is the Catholic Church Supporting Abortion?
House leaders have won the backing of the nation’s Catholic bishops for a last-minute abortion compromise, a critical boost that could give the health reform bill enough momentum – and enough votes – for passage as early as Saturday.
Deeply troubling if true:
There are bishops in the Catholic Church who knows better than to stand for the liberal Democratic bureaucrats in the bishops’ conference running the show at such a crucial moment as right now, when the majority party in Washington is looking to ram through a revolutionary government-run health-care scheme, short on details, high on cost, riddled with life and death concerns. I hope some who know the score — the stakes in this debate and the reality of what the conference is — are paying attention today, as the Politico is giving the impression the bishops have endorsed Pelosicare. (Possibly because that’s the spin that in from the conference legislative office.)
