Attempted Baby-Slashing in Suitland - "Morally Correct" in Mikulski's Eyes?

I just read of a horrific situation that happened in Suitland, MD.  That's not too far from me, and within the Archdiocese of Washington.  A pregnant woman was kidnapped as she left a Missionaries of Charity facility by another woman.  The kidnapper, after keeping her for a few days, bound the woman up and cut into her stomach to remove the baby.  You can read the link for the details.  Happily, the mother and baby survived and the kidnapper is in custody.

Catholic League President Bill Donohue noted that the police called the baby a baby.  Had a similar thing gone on in an abortion mill, the baby would have been dehumanized and would have been dead.  Moreover, if it had occurred in an abortuary, Senators Feinstein and Mikulski would have insisted that government funding of such murder would be "morally correct"!

I'm assuming from Senator Feinstein's name that she is not Catholic.  However I urge Archbishop O'Brien to instruct his priests and deacons not to administer Holy Communion to Senator Mikulski until her moral compass is brought into alignment with the Magisterium.

When, Oh When, Will the Bishops Take Off Their Rose-Colored Glasses??

While the bishops voiced "disappointment" that the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment was defeated, they insist on clinging to the fairy-tale hope of the Hell Bill as constituting "much-needed reform."  Cardinal George said, ""Failure to exclude abortion funding will turn allies into adversaries and require us and others to oppose this bill because it abandons both principle and precedent."

Your Eminences and Your Excellencies, please open your eyes and your ears and put your brains in gear!  Listen to what Senators Mikulski and Feinstein are saying about abortion funding being "morally correct."  For all their other odious faults, at least these two pro-aborts are up front about what their Democrat colleagues are going to put on the Senate floor.  Can the USCCB really be so obtuse regarding this situation?  Surely they must realize that even if a phony funding ban goes through, that it will be quietly removed later.  I fear they really aren't that naive - that in many ways, the abortion funding is not high on their radar screen.

Mikulski - "Abortion Is Preventative Care"?

What do you think when you hear the term "preventative care"?  Don't you think of measures taken to prevent disease?  Common-sense people might think of weight-loss programs or smoking-cessation programs or just a proper healthy lifestyle when the term "preventative care" is mentioned to them.  However, that holds true only for folks with common sense.  Common sense is not so common within the halls of Congress these days.

The latest demonstration of the rarity of common sense comes from Maryland's own Senator Barbara Mikulski, a pro-abortion disobedient Catholic who has roamed the Senate halls for far too long.  As if the Obama-Death-Scare bill weren't enough of an abomination, Mikulski went and added her own special touch of depravity to it.  Yesterday the Senate voted 61-39 to pass her Amendment 2791.  It deals with "preventative care" and would make all-too-possible the categorization of abortion as "preventative care".  It would be up to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to nail down that definition.  Since we all know just who that Secretary is, Kathleen Sebelius (another who disgraces the name Catholic), we know that will happen in a heart beat.  Moreover, private insurance companies would be required to cover this "preventative care".  (They already are in Maryland, but this would become nationwide.)

Don't you just wonder just what "disease" this new "preventative care" is supposed to prevent?  The only thing that will be "prevented" is the birth of precious babies.

Ladies and gentlemen, take heart!  Mikulski is up for reelection in 2010!  On the Republican side, there is actually a decent candidate who is not some bland RINO-type that the Maryland Republican honchos like to stuff down our throats.  His name is Jim Rutledge, and I urge you to seriously consider supporting him.  His website makes clear that he is conservative on moral values and he acknowledges God as creator of life.
