Under the new 'Health Care' bill being brided and pushed through Congress via the DNC/Democrats and President Barack Obama, the issue of 'abortion' has come front and center.

"Under Reid’s “manager’s amendment,” there is no prohibition on abortion
coverage in federally subsidized plans participating in the
Exchange. Instead the amendment includes layers of accounting
gimmicks that demand that plans participating in the Exchange or the new
government-run plan that will be managed by the Office of Personnel
Management must establish “allocation accounts” when elective abortion is
a covered benefit (p. 41). Everyone enrolled in these plans
must pay a monthly abortion premium (p. 41, lines 5-8), and these funds
will be used to pay for the elective abortion services. The Reid
amendment directs insurance companies to assess the cost of elective
abortion coverage (p. 43), and charge a minimum of $1 per enrollee per
month (p. 43, lines 20-22)."
There can not be any, ANY, member of Congress that calls themselves a Democrat and a Catholic, it is impossible because of the doctrine of the Catholic Church. It's crunch time, it's high noon, it's whatever you want to call it...but the time is now. The Catholic Church must 'excommunicate' any Democrat that supports this bill else wise they are living under false witness in the eyes of God Himself.
A person cannot support a man made document and set of laws that will promote the act of abortion and still be an honest religious member of the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church has always condemned abortion
as a grave evil. Christian writers from the first-century author of the
Didache to Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae
("The Gospel of Life") have maintained that the Bible forbids abortion,
just as it forbids murder.
Concerning 'abortion' and an incident in Brazil:
Archbishop Jose
Cardoso Sobrinho of Olinda and Recife said it was "a crime in the eyes
of the church" and that human laws can never override the laws of God."
God is not going to give you, during your review of your life, wiggle room on any issues that He has already laid before us as Law. The Catholic Church must make up it's mind, are they a Church governed by the rules of man, or the rules of God. Man, woman, they must realize and make their own decisions too, do they wish to live under the law of man, or under the guidance of law from God. Is the back street saying that 'forgive on Sunday, sin on Monday' the mantra that American Catholics live by? How can a member of Congress truly be a Catholic and support such legislation that will enable abortion at will and be funded by people who are against abortion, or may have strong pro-choice views but not wish for their money for health care to be used for someone else's night of drunken irresponsibility? Much less even support a bill that requires any support of abortion on undefined terms.
I am not a Catholic, but as I detest most members of our Congress and President for being hypocrites, I detest people who say they are religious but are trying to live in a gray zone that you, me, and God knows does not exist.
