It is clear that if there is no hard pro-life provision in Obamacare the bishops will oppose it.

If there is, they will support it.

Bishops' support or not -- it's hard to see it as overly relevant.

Most of the Catholics I know pick and choose their religious commitments anyway; it's hard to see the bishops' support as being significant.

People who support 0 will rationalize their support, regardless of what religious leaders say.

I think all the bishops would say that the bills needs to be rid of the death care counseling and provisions for euthanasia too. It’s not only about abortion.
