Catholic League president Bill Donohue weighed in on the growing debate among pro-life Catholics regarding President Obamas position on abortion coverage in the health care reform bill:
Richard Doerflinger, a prominent voice for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on life issues, welcomes President Obamas pledge not to include abortion coverage in the health care reform bill. He is joined by Sister Carol Keehan, who heads the Catholic Health Association.
On the other hand, people like Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life maintain that Obamas proclamations represent bogus claims. Also unconvinced are such organizations as the National Right to Life Committee and the Susan B. Anthony List, as well as pro-life congressmen like Rep. Chris Smith. Independent journalists like Dan Gilgoff are also wary of Obamas commitment, holding that On abortionand for the momentthe White House isnt budging at all.

Anyone who believes that a government takeover of health care will not result in federally supported and eventually MANDATED abortion and euthanasia is a stupid fool.
Cass Sunstein is a BIG step in that direction.
Only a firm promise to veto any health care bill that funds abortion will do. Anything less is trickery and LIES.
I trust Obummer just as much as I trust
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
John Murtha
Barney Frank
Chris Dodd
Chuck Schumer
Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
Al Sharpton
Jesse Jackson
Charles Rangel
In other words, NIL, NADA, ZIP, ZERO.
The fact is, American taxpayers are already funding abortions. Our federal government (not sure about individual states) gives millions to Planned Parenthood with the proviso that it not be used for abortions. Well, I’m convinced, PP puts the fed. money in its right pocket to fund admin. exp., etc. and uses donations in its left pocket to kill babies. Check PP to see how much of their activity goes toward baby killing, and how many adoptions they facilitate.
No way!

Oops, I meant Obortion O......got carried away. LOL!
