*Police Arrest Town-Haller Demanding Rep. Kennedy Explain Abortion Support*
By Peter J. Smith

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, December 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/admintools/newsadminmod/Police%20Arrest%20Town-Haller%20Demanding%20Rep.%20Kennedy%20Explain%20Abortion%20Support>) 
- Rep. Patrick Kennedy, a Rhode Island Democrat, and son to the late 
"Lion of the Senate" Ted Kennedy, made clear to his constituents this 
past Monday that demanding how he could support anti-life measures in 
health-care reform and call himself a Catholic was a bridge too far to 
cross. In fact, one citizen who dared to as that question at a town hall 
event found himself dragged off by police, while Rep. Kennedy ignored 
all questions related to abortion or his faith.

CNN reports that Christopher Young, a candidate for mayor of Providence, 
was attending a public forum on health-care at Brown University on 
Monday. While there he rose to ask Kennedy how the politician could 
justify funding abortions with public money under health-care reform, 
when the Catholic faith teaches that abortion is a grave moral evil.

"Why would you mandate Catholics to support the funding of abortion when 
it goes against our religious beliefs? It forces Catholics to fund 
abortions or serve a five year prison sentence," said Young. "You make 
it a felony. This is not a free country. You are forcing people to 
support a bill that goes against the religious beliefs of the people of 
this country."

Young was referring to the provision in the House health-care plan (HR 
3962 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/admintools/newsadminmod/%20http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf>) 
that makes the IRS the enforcer of the health-care plan. It would also 
make refusing to carry health-insurance or pay an increased tax of 2.5 
percent tantamount to tax evasion, a felony offense. House Republicans 
pointed out 
<http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153583>that 
citizens could face a maximum $250,000 fine or a maximum five-year 
prison sentence for such violations.

But while Young was asking his question police officers - unhappy that 
moments before the mayoral candidate had tossed a DVD on Kennedy's desk 
- dragged Young away from the podium. When Young resisted, Police 
officers proceeded to arrest him.

He was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

After the incident, Kennedy glibly remarked to reporters that he thought 
Young's outburst is "part of the whole process of politics these days."

CNN noted that throughout the forum, Kennedy not only refused to answer 
Young's question, but any question related to abortion or his censure 
from Rhode Island Bishop Thomas Tobin. Tobin had recently stated that 
Kennedy's support for abortion was "scandalous" and called into question 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/nov/09111110.html>whether the 
Congressman could in good conscience call himself a Catholic.

During the public back and forth between the bishop and the politician 
that occurred after Kennedy questioned whether the U.S. bishops were 
truly "pro-life" because of their position on abortion-promoting 
health-care, Kennedy revealed 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/nov/09112301.html> that Tobin had 
privately directed the politician, who also supports homosexual 
"marriage," that he was forbidden to receive Communion.

However, in the last couple weeks Kennedy has ceased engaging Bishop 
Tobin as part of what may be a strategy of lying low on abortion, 
especially in a state that boasts the highest concentration of Catholics 
in the United States.

Kennedy rebuffed reporters who wanted to know about the status of his 
fight with the Church over abortion.

"I've said what I can about that," Kennedy demurred. "It's not worth 
repeating. These are personal issues of faith to me. I'm not going to 
indulge in this debate anymore."

*ACLU Sues to Block AK Personhood Initiative*
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/dec/09120101.html 
<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=18096&N=521&L=3717&F=H>  
Life Site News
In the latest in a string of court proceedings against personhood 
initiatives nationwide, the Alaskan branch of the American Civil 
Liberties Union (ACLU) is backing a lawsuit against state officials for 
giving voters an opportunity to decide on a ballot initiative that would 
declare all human beings "persons."  The suit alleges that the proposed 
language does not adequately present to voters the possible consequences 
of its enactment, such as the outlawing of abortion, and thus Lieutenant 
Governor Craig Campbell should not have approved it.  Plaintiffs, 
including Vic Fisher, a former Alaska Democratic legislator, argue that 
the signature-collecting process should be halted immediately.
