Bishop Vasa: No Support for 'Fatally Flawed' Obamacare Bill

Image of Bishop Vasa's sentiments reflect the words of two other prelates who have spoken on the issue: Cardinal Justin Rigali, head of the U.S. Bishops' pro-life office, and Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver. All three have urged opposition to the bills in their current form, insisting that the bills' abortion expansion flies in the face of the Church's advocacy for more available health care.

In effect, should we support giving poisoned water to the thirsty? I think not. BAKER, Oregon (LifeSiteNews.com) - A genuine need for more ... continue reading

Bishop Nickless: No Health Care Reform Better than Wrong Health Care Reform

Image of Bishop Nickless said that H.R. 3200, as it stands, fails both by moral and prudential standards. He confirmed that the bill circumvents the Hyde amendment.

Health Care Debate: Putting the Catholic back in Catholic Action

Image of (Pictured: Dr. Deal Hudson) The debate over health care reform in the U.S.A. is an opportunity for us to sort through how much of our public policy vision is rooted in our understanding what it means to be a Catholic first. There is plenty of room for disagreement on how to structure such a reform among good Catholics.

Our identity as Catholics grounds us in a vision for a new and true humanism rooted in the recognition of the dignity of every human ... continue reading

Dr. Alveda King: Health Reform Should Include Unborn and Elderly as Recipients, Not Victims

Image of (Picture:Dr. Alveda King) 'I was deeply moved by the statement of Representative Joseph Cao of Louisiana who said he would rather lose his seat in Congress than vote for a bill that funded abortion. His elevation of others' lives over his own personal interests is not only the mark of a true statesman, but of a humble member of the Beloved Community of which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. often spoke.'

Now is the time for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to join together in a 'dream choir' to proclaim that health care reform should ... continue reading

NRLC Webpage Exposes Pro-Life Movement's Benedict Arnold in Congress

Image of Much like Benedict Arnold, the American whose name became synonymous with turncoat after his defection and attempt to betray key fortifications to the British Empire in the American War for Independence, Ryan's support was key to passing the Capps Amendment (30-28), which the Associated Press confirmed allows the federal funding of abortion under H.R. 3200 'America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009.'

In recent weeks Ryan has worked with pro-abortion groups to undermine the efforts of the pro-life members of the U.S. House of ... continue reading

Dear Mr. Obama: An American Mom Writes President Obama

Image of If the choice to 'terminate a pregnancy' through abortion is merely about a woman’s right to privacy and autonomy, there should be nothing difficult about it at all. If there are no grounds to declare it illegal, inhumane, or morally wrong, then indeed there should be no conflict of the heart whatsoever.

IÂ’m trying to understand, Mr. Obama, but it just doesnÂ’t make any sense. Why would you work so methodically to increase the occurrence of ... continue reading
