Opinion: Health Care Bill: Bart Stupak 'Limits the Harm'

Catholic Online ^ | 3/21/10 | Deacon Keith Fournier

Congressman Bart Stupak is a faithful Catholic. He is also wrong.Congressman Bart Stupak has at least "limited the harm" done by this Legislation. He has "lessened its negative consequences". He has acted in a faithful way as a faithful Catholic Christian in public life. For that he should be commended. Even if, like me, you disagree with his ultimate decision.

An executive order cannot override the law and the current Senate bill will likely be law within 24 hours. Sorry Stupak, but even your 30 pieces of silver will be exposed as counterfeit soon.

[dr_who]

Bullshit. He’s a Democrat. That makes him a liar and a whore.

[JoanneSD]

Bart had a town hall meeting in cheboygan Mich last fall, and he got into a heated argument with the prolifers, and admitted he would vote for the bill with the abortion funding in it, way back then... this was all grand standing on his part.. his 15 minutes of fame are over.. it is time to remember him in November.

[rogue yam]

Everything that you say here is a lie. Stupak is a disgrace and so are you.

Deacon Fournier has Stockholm Syndrome.

[dschapin]

I disagree. He may have been a faithfull Catholic and I would have considered him a hero if he had stuck to his guns. However, to sell out the unborn for a worthless scrap of paper is nothing less than a betrayal. If he follows through and votes for this bill then he is neither pro life nor Catholic.

[Lost Highway]

If the executive order overrides the legislation then why even have legislation at all? The President can just declare whatever he wants.

[jazzlite]

He will be remembered in November and in history.

[stars & stripes forever]

A faithful Catholic would have voted NO on the bill.

[tobyhill]

May he enjoy hell because unless he votes NO on this legislation that’s exactly where he’ll spend his eternity after life.

[Frantzie]

Nonsense. Typical liberal Catholic propaganda. Another Catholic who is clueless about Catholic history. How Catholic suffered at the hands of Muslims and how Catholics saved Europe.

Stupak sold out to a Msulim on a Sunday so babies could get killed. Get screwed padre.

[browniexyz]

I am just so distressed that people who consider themselves “faithful Catholics” in leadership positions aren’t properly educated to think and execute faithful decisions!!!!

[HerrBlucher]

The EO is worthless and Stupak knows it, he has not lessened the harm in any way. Epic fail on his part, and epic support of abortion is the result.

[clintonh8r]

There’s actually a FReeper who suggested sending money to no-voting RATs as a show of gratitude. Can you believe it? I guess some of us still insist on playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules while our opponents don’t play by any rules.

[browniexyz]

And my comment extends to this Deacon Fournier. Wow, he’s been taken in as well.

[cmj328]

I’ll go further and add that I think Deacon Fournier has disgraced himself by this article and defamed the Catholic Religion.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If he put God and the sanctity of life first, he would have never become a Rat.
