No matter what! Let’s say the bill passes, ok, well that is acually great for Catholics no health plan would be required to offer coverage for abortion. Also, expanding health insurance coverage to the 46 million Americans who currently lack it is a necessary component of building a culture of life. It also provides an opportunity to reduce the number of abortions in the U.S., by making sure that families can afford the expense of pre- and postnatal care. It will provide health insurance coverage for every American. The new reform healthcare bill will take days, if not weeks to read! So noone really knows whats in the bill, some believe the bill does not provide adequate care for uninsured Americans. 81.7 percent of Catholics are opposed of the bill. Remember after the bill passes, it goes back to the Senate, after the Senate it goes to the House of Representatives again for final approval making sure no changes are made. Then the bill lands in the office of the President’s desk which he signs or vetos which everyone knows he will not veto, he is for the healthcare reform bill to make the bill go in effect. After he signs the new reform healthcare reform bill, he can and has the power to alternate that bill and instead of separating public and private dollars in the new system bill, in other words, women could access the public plan but abortion coverage would come from their private dollars, which is stated in the newly reform bill. The President can make a change and oppose the legal funding of abortions,federal dollars paying for abortions in the bill,funding for abortion. The President has the abilty to change parts of the bill around. Remember the Prsident rhetoric on the campaign has not yet matched his actions as president. I see the healthcare bill passing, which is acually great for catholics, but, i also see the unapologetic pro-choice presidential candidate making changes to the abortion plan to cover our expenses to the U.S.reform bill. I studied all differnet relious beliefs, and I am a firm believer in Catholism. So whatever the Pope and Bishops are for, they see something wrong with the bill, maybe that health reform will force taxpayers to fund abortions? maybe they think that this bill is unambiguously pro-life, and will vigorously oppose those who suggest otherwise. Or that the Pope and the Bishops are not satisfied with its restrictions on abortion funding and coverage. Whatever it is our Holy Pope and Bishops sees wrongful for this bill to pass, i am with them all the way! We have to support and stand by our Pope! KILL THE BILL !

This is wrong and always will be wrong. There is no excuse these days for a woman to say " I didn't know" The evil of abortion is coming to an end and soon.

There is no equivalance. "Choice" means that, within limits, a pregant woman has the right to choose whether to proceed with the pregnancy. "Life" means that she doesn't have that choice. So the pro-life lobby think that the law should insist that a woman goes to full term and produces a child almost irrespective of whether that is her wish or not. Surely that can't be right - can it? We moved on from that decades ago and we can't roll back. It is strange that The USA polarises the Abortion debate into those two words “Life” and “Choice”.

On the Moon? The teachings against divorce by the Catholic Bishops are legion. You're just trying to be a wise-guy and not doing a very good job of it, either. By the way you ought to know that the Catholic's teachings are not only based up on the Sacred Scriptures, but also on Sacred Tradition - both constitute ONE deposit of the Word God - that's right out Vatican II repeating the constant teaching of the Church over the ages. If you understood that then you'd know the very first teaching against abortion in the Catholic Church appeared in a document called the Didache (c. A.D. 50) which is part of Sacred Tradtion. 50 million kids killed in 36 years in the U.S. constitutes a greater moral issue than ANY moral issue, past or present, that this country has ever faced. So, go ahead, vote for Obama tomorrow. But be aware that you're committing Mortal Sin by doing that. Then compound it on Sunday after Sunday after that as you blithely go up and commit a sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist by receiving it in that state of sin. I do hope you repent and be confessed before it's too late. Where have you been living Pierre? On the Moon? The teachings against divorce by the Catholic Bishops are legion.

Why don't the bishops condemn the grave evil of divorce? Surely they must realize that divorce and single-parent homes -- more than anything else -- are destroying our society. Why can't our bishops hear the cry of children and spouses whose lives are ruined by divorce? The bishops should demand that all Catholic elected officials immediately abolish all divorce laws. Any Catholic who refuses -- who is locked into the culture of death -- should be summarily excommunicated. Abortion is never mentioned in the New Testatment, but Jesus specifically condemns divorce.
