The news this am is about the possibility that the needed 60 votes for the health care bill has been reached. Nebraska democrat Ben Nelson will vote for the bill if stronger curbs are placed on abortions being covered under the bill. This presents an interesting compromise. What if we could insure some 50 million Americans-who are without health coverage now-but by doing so some abortions would occur? Are some people so opposed to a legal procedure that they would deny millions of Americans needed care?
The article I am reading also notes that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops is also opposed to legislation that does not "seek stricker abortion curbs". "The bishops played an significant role in drafting an abortion-related provision in the House bill". Tell me why an organization that has allowed its members to sexually abuse young children and then hide them from proper prosecution for those crimes should even be listened to?
