Abortion is not health care. I hear, three Catholic organizations are urging their constituents, to immediately enact health care legislation, despite the vast abortion and euthanasia components. What? Enact something nobody's read? I hope these people know how to read. Perhaps they've come through the Chicago Public School system, or any other public school system for that matter, where reading is a low priority. Perhaps they operate under 'don't bother me with the facts, I'll deal with the emotion'. "Emotions only please."
The culture of life in America will become the culture of death, if the health care plan, passes in it's present form. Why? Because there is a large component that would legalize abortion and euthanasia under health care reform. After all, less is better, and that can be accomplished by both abortion and euthanasia.
The organizations we're discussing, are as follows: St. Vincent De Paul, Catholic Charities and the Catholic Health Association. These groups are urging their members to call their legislators and ask for an immediate passage for health care reform. Two of these organizations do not surprise me. They are: Catholic Charities and The Catholic Health Association.
The dichotomy and irony of this debate is, that while the pro-life advocates are urging Congress to delete the abortion/euthanasia component, in the health care reform, these organizations are pushing for passage.
If I were a betting person, I might bet that the Bishops would support Universal Health Care. That being said, they certainly do not support abortion or euthanasia. Hopefully, these two components will not become collateral damage in the Bishop's efforts to promote Universal Health Care.
The ball is in the Bishop's court. Will they be successors to the apostles, giving witness, or will they be pillars of jello? What will be said to Catholic Charities, St. Vincent De Paul and the Catholic Health Care Association? We'll all have to wait and see.
