A US Catholic group on Friday accused Roman Catholic bishops of meddling in health care reforms by making backroom deals to ensure the bill does not allow funding for abortion.
“Religious and ethical concerns can legitimately inform public policy, but the bishops have overstepped the mark,” said Jon O’Brien, president of Catholics for Choice.
“Interference by the US Catholic bishops in health care reform does not help women. The bishops should not be allowed to use health care reform to restrict women’s access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare services,” he said.

Pleeeese! I have naval lint that has a stronger claim to being Catholic than these heretics. (And no, I am not Roman anymore.) I should be used to this kind of sloppy journalism. But sometimes they still manage to really drive me up a wall with their stupidity (or bias).
If I declare myself to be Napoleon, do you think the press would refer to me as His Majesty?
That is right ‘Ad Orientem’: Just because a cat has kittens in the oven doesn’t make them biscuits!
This group is no more ‘Catholic’ than Kenneth Copeland.
It is also amusing to hear a special interest group attack another special interest group for being a special interest group.
Catholics for Choice is Catholic in the way “YankeesHater.com” is a Yankee fan site.
