Rick does it provide funding for abortions? Does the bill clearly state that abortions will be funded?

The beat goes on, all is not unified among the sisters. “What must be known is that Cardinal George stated what Sister Carol herself said in a March 11 letter from CHA to the House of Representatives. In it, she wrote that CHA "believes the Senate legislation should be amended through a 'corrections' bill to address the following issues." Sister Carol listed five points, the last of which reads, "The bill should ensure that the final, overall health reform package will provide no federal funding for abortion."” “Divisions exist among nuns, too. A smaller, more conservative organization, the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, which represents over 103 communities and 10,000 members, issued a statement siding with the bishops against the health care bill. "I feel badly that others who are responsible for this faith ... have not taken the leadership of the bishops as seriously as they should," council president Mother Mary Quentin Sheridan said in an interview.” “Mr. Stupak hit back at the nuns on Thursday, saying they did not have much influence. “With all due respect to the nuns, when I deal or am working on right-to-life issues, we don’t call the nuns,” he said on the MSNBC program “Hardball.””

God bless the nuns. They are right. Those who say otherwise are simply engaging in fear mongerng, are desperate, willing to say anything, and frightened that the health care reform bill might actually pass and we might actually help children, the elderly, the poor, the handicapped, and those who live in the margins of life.
