The Democrats in the General Assembly tried the same thing in Illinois.
Cardinal George came down to Springfield and met with some of the lawmakers there. He basically told them that if they force Catholic hospitals to dispense the morning after pill in violation of their consciences, then he would shut down all the Catholic hospitals in the Archdiocese of Chicago. They could then answer to the public for the health care crisis that would result.
The Democrats backed down.
Wow, great story about Cardinal George. Good for him.
