Here’s what I think — these Bishops came out (over 100 of them) against Obortion Obama during the election. (I will post the list below.)

Why aren’t they speaking out against the mandated abortion in this bill?? Let alone the mandated euthansia espoused in this bill.

I feel sick to my stomach right now.

I feel the devil is hard at work, and we all need to pray long and hard for this country.

I think I'm confused. (no offense meant)

I downloaded a pdf copy of HR 3200 and searched with Adobe's excellent search function for any reference to 'Abortion', or 'Choice'. And not a single 'hit' came back in any of the 1017 pages to those words.

Now I've seen scores of article like this that keep saying Abortion is in the bill, but they never say where in the Bill it is. For other 'hot button' issues like for the Elderly a section is referenced, but never in articles about abortion.

So like I say, I think I'm confused.

They don’t come out against this because the extermination of millions of unborn humans is less important than a promise of “health care” to millions of humans who managed to survive to be born. Abortion kills humans who are rarely if ever seen and never heard. So it is much easier to ignore those people than it is those against whom the “right” to abortion has not been exercised and who are able (and inclined) to complain about their lot in life.

The overall impression given by Church leadership thus far is that universal health care coverage is so badly needed that they are not willing to endanger the legislation by protesting too loudly against abortion coverage.

What BS!

I could see "some" idiot doctors saying this, but this people?

It's all about getting abortion FREE!

About a hundred bishops really think that abortion on demand is an absolute horror, but the majority are luke warm. The pope gave them cover by greeting Obama warmly and giving him a book to read!

The Catholic Medical Association has also expressed their displeasure with the bill. I am not familiar with the difference between them and the Catholic Health Association, maybe someone can advise me.

Here is a link to the Catholic Medical Association’s statement.

http://www.cathmed.org/issues_resources/publications/press_releases/statement_on_health_care_reform/

Just a quick glance at CHA’s site leads me to believe they are Catholic as defined by Catholic Charities, the LCWR and other liberal Catholic organizations. I won’t see they are in rebellion against the magesterium but I do believe they are more likely to push for the use of government (read taxpayer) money to achieve their goals.

The majority of Bishops in this country care more about social justice and staying on Obama’s side than they do the sanctity of life. The Pope can issue all the papers he wants but if he doesn't direct his clergy in this country to start singing out of the same book the Catholic Church in this country will be little more than a social service organization. I'm sickened by it all.

A key falacy in the whole health care discussion is that there are NOT 47 million Americans that can’t get health care.Sally Pipes wrote”THE tOP 10 Myths of American Health Care”,which is quoted in David Limbaugh’s column.Sally says 18million of the uninsured make over $50,00- per year.As many as 14million of the uninsured are NOW eligible for Medicare, Medicaid and theSCHIP programs.Sally concludes that there are about 8 million chronically uninsured.Not the kind of number that justifies taxpayer support of ABORTION and EUTHANASIA.

By the way it now becomes clearer why Catholic Charities supports a health care bill that includes Abortion and EUTHANASIA.The Catholic News Service just announced today that Catholic Charities Landed a $100million Contract with the Federal Government.

Obama and crew don’t care about God. Why would they care about His Church??
