Ignorance
EDITOR: Here you have it. Both Senator Casey and Congressman Carney contended throughout the debate that abortions would not be covered under Obamacare. Pro lifers e-mailed, called, and wrote to them and told them that somehow abortion would be funded. Both of these Catholic politicians insisted it would not; that they could not vote for any bill that did as they were Catholic. They are correct in that as any Catholic who supports, aids, assists abortion in any way is automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
That being said, let's examine the possibilities. Neither Casey or Carney realized the truth. Odd that so many of us common everyday tax payers would know both these two would not. Casey and Carney lied to us barefaced thinking we were all too ignorant to figure it out.
Yesterday, the Obama administration approved the first direct taxpayer funding of abortion to the tune of $160 million dollars in Pennsylvania - the plan devised by Gov. Ed Rendell. How sad that Pennsylvanians will be forced to kill unborn children with their tax dollars! Abortion is murder - and those of us who acknowledge this truth - are being forced to fund the slaughter of the innocent. Gov. Rendell is done as governor of Pennsylvania and he will go down in history for changing the face of a state that was once recognized for being such a strong pro-life state. However, Congressman Carney will be running in November and for his lack of honesty to those he was elected to represent he should lose his job. Likewise with Senator Casey in 2012. Please join me in voting dishonesty out of office.
