Never thought you’d see that headline, huh? Well, that seems to be the upshot of this Politico report that National Right-to-Life is making robocalls in Indiana asking Democrats to vote against Obama. I guess, as Tim Roemer surmises, they think Clinton would be easier to beat in the general election.
Via Casting Stones.
It would be interesting to see if the Indiana bishops respond in the Novak-Egan mold and suggest NRTL folks and their supporters refrain from receiving Communion.
Has Hillary addressed the issue of conscience? Given Bill Clinton’s support of the Restoration of Religious Freedom Act. it would not be out of character for Hillary to support conscience clauses for pro-life health care workers, which could make her the lesser of two evils for right-to-life Democratic voters. But I do not know if she has declared on that issue.
Someone wrote this to me about our abortion hypocrisy in the US.
“As Italian woman I’m puzzled: why doesn’t anybody comment on the blog about what the pope actually DOES in Italy? On 17 June 2007 in Assisi and 21 october 2007 in Naples BXVI himself gave Communion to Prodi, prime minister and pro-choice. Nobody in the USA seems to me bothered by this, why? Why must american bishops be more catholic than the pope????
And here Ruini, bishop Vicario of Roma and (now former) president of the bishops’ conference gives Communion to Prodi:”
I received such a call last night.
Mystery solved… this must be why Hillary overwhelmingly gets the older women Catholic vote.. Her best demographic..what a fraud…
