15 Catholic Senators Join the Catholic Hall of Shame by Voting to Fund Abortion
Catholic Online ^ | 12/15/09 | Deacon Keith Fournier

“…Over the past month there has been a great deal of discussion about the Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts amendment in the House health care reform bill. Unfortunately, much of this discussion has been driven by misinformation about what our amendment does and does not do. I would like to set the record straight: Our amendment maintains current law, which says that there should be no federal financing for abortion.

And just where are the Bishops denouncing these baby murderers?
And why are they not going home to stonings?
They should be stoned right after attending church this Sunday led by the priests.

These “Catholics” for the most part have been defying the Church for years. Many of them follow the greatest “Catholic” (Ted Kennedy) that the Church just burried with honors. Ted, we know, was a massive supportor of abortion and abortion funding along with these other “Catholics”.

We have some Bishops, Bishop Tobin for example, who are speaking out but the funeral of Ted Kennedy was such a disgrace we should not be supprised these Senators voted this way.

Here they are:

“Patrick Leahy (D-VT), John Kerry (D-MA), Paul Kirk (D-MA), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Patty Murray (D-WA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Christopher Dodd (D-CT.), Claire McCaskill (D-MO.), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Mark Begich (D-AK), and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).”

I see that that 2 faced snake, Susan Collins, did her best to make it ‘bipartisan’.

These “Catholics” seem destined to occupy the same region of Hell as the Senior Senator from Chappaquiddick now occupies.But then,some “Catholics” believe in the “Ten Suggestions” rather than the Ten Commandments.

That is quite a list of names. It’s discouraging that some of the most notorious loons in the Senate are faux Catholics.

Very sad.
