O-bami vs The Church

The Catholics are taking a hard line. I wish they would have done so before the election. But, I suppose, better late than never.

They're prepared, apparently, to close down all their hospitals if the Freedom of Choice Act is passed by Congress.

As I understand it, the bill would prevent any doctor from refusing to do an abortion, and would instantly undo any state laws that have been passed, by the legislators or the people, that have limited abortion in any way, including late term and partial birth.

The closing down of over 500 hospitals and countless clinics is a big deal. Let's see how the O-bami crowd handles this one.

The Caltholic Church is not willing to even sell the buildings, knowing they would be used to perform abortions. Apparently they are willing to just close them down...and leave them vacant.

Now, that's a stand I would admire. Costly. Difficult. Brave.

  1. If the Catholics close down over 1,000 hospitals, it will precipitate another manufactured crisis for the government to manage.

    The Catholics get to drop a losing venture and Obama and Hillary get their wish. Win-win.

  4. It's reassuring to know that one group of people (The Catholic hierarchy) is immune to Obie's Kool-Aid Pop Song.
