Catholics United and NCR Say Don't Worry About Abortion in Health Care Bill

I don't think we have to learn this from the ad they are ranting about. Just turning on the news gives us the needed info. CARDINAL RIGALI on the other hand is pretty worried. See via the Catholic Key

CARDINAL RIGALI URGES HOUSE COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT PRO-LIFE AMENDMENTS TO HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL

As Pro-Ecclesia says this problem can be easily solved. See "Common Ground" on Abortion

Oh other people worried. Catholic Social Justice Republic Rep Cao of New Orleans and Catholic Democrat Charlie Melancon.

From the Picayune
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, a pivotal Blue Dog Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, voted against the committee's health care reform bill Friday night, citing his concerns about its inclusion of a public option and its opening the door to public funding of abortion.
"I am concerned that the public option, as designed, would unfairly undercut anything the private sector could offer," Melancon said. "As someone who is personally pro-life and represents a deeply pro-life constituency, I am also concerned that this bill does not do enough to ensure taxpayer dollars do not fund abortion."
Earlier in the day, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, R-New Orleans, the only member of the Louisiana House delegation who had not weighed in on where he stands on the health reform bill, said that he cannot support any bill that permits public money to be spent on abortion

Hmm A Catholic Cardinal and two pro-life folks from two of the parties are saying to be worried. I think I will side with them
