The President's Nun: Obamacare Scranton Scandal Explodes

American Spectator ^ | 10.11.10 @ 6:09AM | By Jeffrey Lord

[Behind Liberal Lines]

A mushrooming political battle over ObamaCare involving the White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun has just exploded in, of all places, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Charges from the Scranton medical community of intimidation by the Obama White House and its allies are filling the air.

All of this just as Vice President Joe Biden arrives in Scranton today to raise money for one of the participants.

Looks like there is one powerful, influential nun that doesn't mind putting on her Obamah knee-pads.

Dig their dirt, expose, expose the lies and corruption behind all the gutter RATs before they destroy our country and our freedom.

They are concerned the hospitals will not do abortions. This seems to be behind their agenda in closing them down. The nun is a radical social justice advocate.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

This needs to be pinged out.

I’m running out the door to pick some grapes but will ping it as soon as I come back if wag hasn’t yet.

Thank you!

I suspect that the greyhaired leftwing feminist nuns are selling off the hospitals for the same reason they are selling off their schools: they have very few novices, few nuns under the age of 65 earning money --- no "younger generation" --- so they need to sell off the assets to fund their retirement. It may not be that they are actually "pro-abortion": but it's something they're willing to accept as part of the bigger deal.

I can only thank God for the new orders --- like the Dominican Sisters in Nashville --- who will be there to love and serve after the tastefully-suited Sister-Carol-CEO's sell out and die out.

The desire for recognition and applause is in the human heart,this nun just let it all out

[wagglebee]

This "nun" is nothing more than a modern-day Judas.

for home reading.

“And notably, in a town that is heavily Catholic, the realization that three hospitals that did not perform abortions could be sold to owners who would allow the procedure is infuriating.”
