*Senate Health Care Amendment Would Fund Planned Parenthood*

EWTN
A pro-life leader has criticized the Senate's addition of the Mikulski 
Amendment to the proposed health care bill, voicing concerns that the 
provision's sponsor herself has admitted it would fund some of Planned 
Parenthood's services. The amendment's required coverage of "preventive 
care" could also include abortions. The Mikulski Amendment, passed on 
Thursday by a vote of 61-39, requires group health plans and health 
insurance issuers to provide coverage for "preventive care" for women 
and bars them from imposing cost sharing requirements on such care.

Rev. Carlton Veazey, president and CEO of the Religious Coalition for 
Reproductive Choice, told a small crowd of pro-abortion protesters that 
women have a "God-given right" to abortion and that opposition from 
pro-life congressmen and religious leaders would never take it away.  
Veazey, closing speaker at a "Stop Stupak" rally on Capitol Hill staged 
by major pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood, NARAL-Pro 
Choice, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) told the 
crowd that not only did they have a constitutional right to abortion, 
but that they had a God-given one as well.

*Santorum, R.I. Governor Defend Bishop Tobin against Rep. Kennedy*

By James Tillman

PROVIDENCE, RI, December 7, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) -- Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri 
and former senator Rick Santorum are now among Bishop Thomas Tobin's 
defenders in the public battle between the bishop and Rep. Patrick Kennedy.

"Simply put, the church has membership requirements," wrote 
<http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/78395972.html> Rick Santorum 
recently in the Philadelphia Inquirer.  "Kennedy is free to reject them. 
What he is not free to do is redefine them for himself and condemn the 
church for not accepting his definition."

The exchange between Bishop Tobin and Rep. Kennedy started when the 
pro-abortion Kennedy questioned 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/oct/09102310.html> whether the 
Church was "pro-life" because it opposed the abortion-funding health 
care bill in the House, saying it was fanning "the flames of dissent and 
discord" by its position.  He nevertheless maintained in an October 24 
letter that "the fact that I disagree with the hierarchy of the church 
on some issues does not make me any less of a Catholic."

Bishop Tobin responded 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/nov/09111111.html>by saying that 
such a position did in fact make someone "less of a Catholic" and that 
Kennedy's position was "unacceptable to the Church and scandalous to 
many of our members. It absolutely diminishes [Kennedy's] communion with 
the Church."

Besides Sen. Santorum, Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri has now weighed in 
on the issue, saying 
<http://www.projo.com/news/content/Carcieri_takes_sides_11-26-09_L5GJE3A_v13.3a6388a.html> 
that Kennedy had made "pretty outrageous statements about the Catholic 
Church" and on the Church's position on "protecting the sanctity of 
innocent human beings."

Such statements left Bishop Tobin, Carcieri continued, with "no choice 
except to come back and defend the Church, which I think he did very well."

Governor Carcieri declined to comment on whether or not Kennedy should 
receive Communion, and clarified that he only means to address Kennedy's 
attacks on the Church.  He also lamented the "rudeness" with which 
Bishop Tobin was met 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/nov/09112409.html>on MSNBC's 
"Hardball with Chris Matthews."

When Carcieri, who is Catholic, was asked if an elected Catholic's first 
allegiance was to the Church, Carcieri responded that "if there are 
conflicts between positions that I am advocating as governor and my 
Church and my faith, then that is something I have to sort out."

"It may be [were this to be true] that I can't be a member of the Church 
that I am part of," he said.  "Everybody has to sort those issues out 
personally."

Rick Santorum spoke similarly of how politicians should not sever the 
connection between their religious and political lives: "Kennedy and 
other politicians have an obligation to review any conflict with the 
church's core moral teachings with their bishop and determine if it's so 
grave as to require their leaving either public office or the church."

Santorum responded in part to a recent statement by Catholic Democratic 
Pennsylvania Representative Patrick Murphy.  Murphy had said 
<http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gQORJ9uOKY_klcRSKHBm5t8UM-kgD9C5KNJ00>that 
"we don't legislate at the orders of the Vatican, we legislate what is 
in our conscience and what we think is good for our country."

"I agree," wrote Santorum.  "But in 16 years as a Catholic in public 
office, I never received an order from the Vatican or any clergyman."

He continued: "I also agree with Murphy - as does the catechism - that 
Catholics must be true to their consciences. But that is not a 
free-floating guide that we can define ourselves."

"A Catholic is required to form his conscience in accordance with the 
church's teachings on faith and reason, and to act in a morally coherent 
and consistent way, both privately and publicly."

He concluded by saying that discussions regarding the morality of 
abortion do not simply depend on the Church, but may also be based in 
reason; there is "a natural law that forms the basic moral foundation of 
society and that can be known through the exercise of reason. Thus, a 
Catholic public official with a well-formed conscience can arrive at 
correct moral conclusions not by faith, but by reason."
