Once again, blame the 'Catholics'

CNA is reporting that 15 "self-described Catholic Senators" voted against an amendment that would have limited taxpayer funding of abortion in pending healthcare legislation. Since the vote was 54-45, the amendment's defeat may be blamed on these 15 'Catholic' senators, one of whom is "the great-nephew of Archbishop of Boston William Henry Cardinal O'Connell."

As one pro-lifer said, "The greatest threat to human dignity in the United States is the destruction of human life in the womb, not a lack of 'health care reform."
