The Reid bill will come later.<br /><br />So on Saturday, 39 Republicans voted anti-life and against a bill that included the Stupak language.Kurthttp://www.catholicsforobama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745409605496062834.post-60598232389206871082009-11-22T14:26:50.065-05:002009-11-22T14:26:50.065-05:00So, I guess Casey is to abortion as JPII, Benedict XVI and Catholic Bishops are to unjust divorce.<br /><br />Lots of talk but not a damn thing to address it except in words, when each of these men has the authority to excommunicate.<br /><br />Don&#39;t blame Casey and his ilk, when his &quot;leaders&quot; do the same on other issues which are destroying lives as well.<br /><br />The duplicity has long been a game for Catholic clergy. Tough, ain&#39;t it, when those chicks come home to roost.<br /><br />Although, I have to tip a hat to the Bishop from Rhode Island for more than TALK. May he do the same for those in Rhode Island who unjustly divorce their valid spouses. I am not holding my breath, however, sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745409605496062834.post-79378557977789794682009-11-21T12:59:17.967-05:002009-11-21T12:59:17.967-05:00Ben Nelson isn&#39;t a Catholic, but he has always been a very conservative pro-life Democrat.huskerhokiemahttp://openid.aol.com/huskerhokiemanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745409605496062834.post-19748141954924214012009-11-20T21:54:53.775-05:002009-11-20T21:54:53.775-05:00Don&#39;t count on Stupak, he already said that he will vote for the health care bill even if it has full abortion coverage in it.

I&#39;m always reminded of Pontius Pilate as he tried to basically say he was against our Lord&#39;s conviction to death but ultimately had to concur with his political constituency.Tim McDonnellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745409605496062834.post-79722316079809499042009-11-20T17:08:04.615-05:002009-11-20T17:08:04.615-05:00I live in Nebraska -- Johanns and Nelson are our senators.

God only knows what&#39;ll happen when the rubber hits the road... but at least there&#39;s some hope. (If he sticks it out, I think he&#39;ll help his chances of re-election... but that&#39;s just a guess.)paladinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17097301774804069480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745409605496062834.post-19948719939798918832009-11-20T14:20:12.063-05:002009-11-20T14:20:12.063-05:00The fact that he&#39;s not clear about his opposition tells me a lot.

Catholic Democratic US Senator, Dick Durbin of Illinois, would crawl in order to vote for abortion. It also means that many Catholic Democrats ought to strongly consider whether they are in a state of grace before receiving Our Lord. Abortion is a crime that cries to heaven for redress.John Hetmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03301569907153503102noreply@blogger.com
