Catholic Hospitals Support Health Care Bill

[JohnWxy]

One of the innumerable chimeras conjured by the "Let's make Health Care Obama's 'Waterloo' " camp is that the Health Care Bill will allow spending Federal monies for abortions. It's another lie of course, and the Catholic Hospitals group knows it:


This group would not be supporting this bill if is promoted Federal support for abortions.

A group representing Catholic hospitals Saturday rallied behind President Barack Obama's health care bill ahead of a House vote in which anti-abortion lawmakers could play a decisive role.

The chief executive of the Catholic Health Association, Carol Keehan, wrote on the group's Web site that although the legislation isn't perfect, it represents a ''major first step'' toward covering all Americans and would make ''great improvements'' for millions of people. The more than 600 Catholic hospitals across the country do not provide abortions as a matter of conscience.
