Let’s remember Who is attacking Bart Stupak. The leftist side.
It was interesting to hear a Democrat say he doesn’t go to the nuns for info on drafting pro-life legislation.
This is actually because the most vocal and politicized among them are not pro-life. The media does not interview pro-life nuns.
I would not go to most of the Americans who claim to be Catholic for pro-life information and political assistance.
This is because many of them are democrats who naively believe that health care can be handed over to a corrupt institution (the U.S. government) and expected to improve. Also, many are not pro-life.
Stupak, ever a democrat, believes that the health care debacle can be sold by removing language allowing government funding of abortion. This is a joke.
With existing socialized systems, abortion has been mandated by the lack of health coverage and treatment for those with untoward fetal diagnoses. The mother is told that she should abort the baby with congenital defects. Also, women who are raped, or who receive risky medications are told that they SHOULD abort. Many would prefer not to.
If abortion funding is removed from Obamacare, by necessity of cost cutting, there will remain the unfunded mandate of abortion.
The current leftist ideology and template for girls and women is that they should be available for sex at a young age, and have abortions early and often, thereby functioning as good and convenient sexual utilities. Yes, the functioning is expected to be similar to that of electrical wall sockets. Most American leftists actually hate the life-bearing aspect of women. (Years of testing and observation back this contention.) These same people also hate traditional Catholic teaching which has assigned the highest rank and honor among humans to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
The ‘brave new world’ for women under leftist care will be little better than life under the Taliban.
*** addendum : Stupak can add this group of sisters to his phone list. Here’s their full web site.
