It's crunch time for the anti-abortion bill. I can't believe women could possibly lose coverage altogether with this new plan, just because there are many Republicans (and Democrats) who are anti-choice. Ironically, this article details the opinions of "Catholics for Choice," an organization which believes in healthcare for the millions of people who do not currently have coverage, regardless of whether or not that care would provide abortion services. They send a very important message in their support for the bill, and also that the bishops have been misrepresenting Catholic beliefs.
I think this very ironically displays how not all Catholics are conservative, as many newspapers and media outlets portray, and it's important to have a diverse set of opinions, regardless of what religion you are. I'd like to see more coverage of Catholics in support for the new healthcare system, as opposed to the media always just portraying them as the "evil conservatives."
