[Connecticut] Bishops: Don't Make Catholic Hospitals Perform Abortions
Westport.patch.com ^

Posted on 04/22/2012 11:10:14 AM PDT by Pyro7480

...[S]ome Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate said they'd favor the concept of a federal law requiring even Catholic hospitals to perform abortions. Now, the state's Catholic bishops are objecting.

...[They] issued a statement expressing their dismay after all five Democratic candidates said during Sunday's "Face the State" debate that they would support legislation forcing Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.

"If it is their [the candidates'] position that our hospitals should be forced by law or regulations to provide abortions in spite of our teaching, it is unfortunate to note their readiness to violate religious liberty"...

Here are some excerpts of the answers:

Susan Bysiewicz: "The federal government has the right to regulate what services are provided, because Catholic institutions, colleges and universities get funding from the federal government, and I believe that those institutions should provide access to reproductive health care."

Chris Murphy: "They certainly have the ability to decide what services they perform."

Matthew Oakes: "If they're gonna take our money—I'm Roman Catholic—then they need to perform the health care issues that women need performed for them."

William Tong: "Access to an abortion should be open and available. Acess to contraception, the same thing. These are basic liberties enshrined in our Constitution, in our jurisprudence. That's a fact. [...] I think we need a cooperative approach. We had a bill in the state Legislature to provide emergency contraception. It was called Plan B. [...] Now Plan B is a reality. Emergency contraception is made available to patients at Catholic hospitals. We just need to find a way to make it work."

Lee Whitnum did not answer the question about whether the federal government must force Catholic institutions to provide abortion or contraceptive services. She said she supported institutions providing them.

They will force Catholic churches to perform gay marriages.

That’s what the Progressive are reaching for-—no religion other than the government. The tide has reach our shores, and I’m afraid we are not going to recover without the help of devine intervention.

Close them down. Do not sell them, Do not rent them to someone else to run, Just close the doors and walk away.

These people are driving catholics into caves like the Romans did.

Obama was right,. This is not a Christian Country any more.

What will the citizens of the cities and areas say when the catholic church starts shutting these hospitals down!

They did it with Catholic charities already, I believe.

“Close them down. Do not sell them, Do not rent them to someone else to run, Just close the doors and walk away.”

I would like to see the Bishops say that this is what they will be forced t do and will do should the Government require them to provide abortions.

This is a “win-win” situations for the Communist Party USA.Either the Bishops buckle (*highly* unlikely) or they shut them down.That's the single wettest of an American Communist's wet dreams....no Catholic hospitals.

That will never happen. They will just change their names like Catholic Healthcare West did when Bishop Olmstead reprimanded them for providing abortions.

They will try to make Catholic hospitals perform abortions.
They will force Catholic churches to perform gay marriages.

The Church should, if necessary,
transfer all patients out, close the ER,
then raze the hospitals to the ground

Than to submit this Mortal Sin

"Gay Marriage" is a non-sequitor
Sanctifying Acts, in defiance of the Seven Laws of Noah,
is an Abomination

They can’t force them to perform abortions. They can, however, force them to close their doors, which will of course result in back-alley births, heart surgery, and mammograms...

Barry Goldwater refused to vote the for the Civil rights act, because of its public accommodations provisions. Not mere do it implement the 14th Amendment; it gave the government power to coerse private parties to end discriminatory practices. The laws aimed to guarantee blacks the same rights as other American citizens, but by extension it has come to include any other group identified as a “minority,” which is to say, any group which has suffered from social discrimination in the past. Ironically, no groups has more suffered from discrimination than the Catholic Church, not even the Jews. But if the choice bet made between Catholics and gays, for instance, the prejudice against Catholics ,outweighs that against gays.

If the Church were to do what you suggest the local govts would either assess the properties for taxes or use eminent domain to take the properties with minimum compensation. It would be better to sell the properties to real estate developers to build malls condos or cineplexes.

Is it any wonder that Pew has Obama trailing 57/37 with Catholics now? The campaign hasn’t even started. How bad will it get by November with candidates like this?
NO DEMOCRAT has EVER lost the Catholic vote and won the general election. Obama has dropped 17 points with Catholics since 2008 and cardinal Dolan is just getting started.
This will be fun to watch.

Was looking for the 'or else. . ." No; not there.

What might one otherwise expect from those whose religion is Marxism/Communism. . .who are devotees of Mao; and Alynsky? Those who have sympathies with Stalin/Hitler; Fidel and Hugo and the 'Sun' family of North Korea?

We know you cannot get 'blood' from a turnip; but still; why does anyone imagine 'good' from those who share the common root of evil; in that they are compelled to deny others the freedoms they personally believe are theirs to claim - by a Divine Right - that they do not believe in; and who live in a world where 'values' have no value; virtue no virtue?

What might one honestly expect of a man; who cares not a whit about Judeo/Christian Faith and heritage; nor it's future.

"Earth to all citizens who vote"; with a special notation to Catholics/Christians/Jews. . .
