| House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is Catholic, indicated on Friday that she supports forcing St. Mary’s Medical Center, the oldest continuously operating hospital in her San Francisco-based congressional district, to provide health plans to its workers that cover sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs free of charge even though the Catholic faith says this Catholic hospital may not do so because these things are intrinsically immoral. "We are committed to furthering the healing ministry of Jesus," says the hospital´s mission statement.

Comments:
I get to smooze at least once a week with the same type of Catholics who don´t even care to discuss anything outside of their family or Dallas Cowboys [currently]. They want to act like 0bamacare doesn´t effect them anymore than the falling US birth rate and unemployment.

Just because she calls herself a Catholic doesn´t make it so. She will have to answer to God for her actions.

One quarter, 25%, of all hospitals in the US are Catholic affiliated. Imagine in two years all of them shuttered. I suppose that´s when we´ll see a mad rush for hundreds of Muslim hospitals being built. Thank you Barry.

First they came for the Catholics.
But America voted them in power again, anyway.
There may soon come a day when refusing to profess the glories of socialism will be punishable by law, as millions who suffered under extreme Hope and Change in the 20th century can attest to.

OK, the mandate is awful, but there´s something missing from this story: the mandate has been the law in CA for many years.
It was challenged in the courts and the Church lost. I´m not sure where the case stands now, but Matt Cover should explain what that hospital is doing now regarding the CA law.

Until someone of authority in the Catholic church comes out and takes drastic action against these false Catholic pols, they have no credibility with me whatsoever. But part of the problem could be that liberalism has infected the CC in this country more so than other areas of the world.

Except for maybe the right to remain silent, something I wish she would exercise, Pelosi won´t defend the rest of the Bill of Rights either.

My cancer treatment was at a Catholic hospital so I spent a lot of time there (testing, surgery, radiation) and during that time I had the feeling that I was one of the few paying customers. It will be quite a shock to the healthcare system is/when these hospitals close.

No need for formal excommunication: she excommunicates herself!!! Under Canon Law 1398 "a person who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication." This means that at the very moment that the abortion is successfully accomplished,the woman and all formal conspirators are excommunicated.

U.S. officials see development of the weapon as critical to convincing Israel that the U.S. has the ability to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb if diplomacy fails, and also that Israel´s military can´t do that on its own, the report said.

During the chaotic week of the Boston bomb attacks, Barack Obama finally did something a lot of people had been waiting for: He got angry. In public. In the Rose Garden. It happened after the Senate had shamefully failed to pass a bill, favored by the overwhelming majority of Americans, requiring background checks for gun purchasers. (Snip) Assorted Republicans were put off by Obama´s passion. The conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer falsely claimed that the President had falsely claimed that the background-checks bill would have prevented the Newtown massacre.

Multan, Pakistan - Gunmen killed a court prosecutor working on the murder case of the former prime minister Benazir Bhutto early Friday, casting into turmoil a politically charged case that has also embroiled Pakistan’s former military leader, Pervez Musharraf. Assailants fatally shot Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali as he was leaving his home in a suburb of the capital, Islamabad, for a court hearing in which Mr. Musharraf, who is currently under house arrest, was due to seek bail. Initial reports said that gunmen traveling by motorbike and car sprayed Mr. Ali’s car with bullets.

Thursday is the National Day of Prayer, the annual spectacle of activists and elected officials, in Washington and around the country, gathering for unabashedly conservative Christian public worship. This year´s theme: "Pray for America", because there is a need, organizers say, "for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men". Although the US Congress designated the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer, these organized prayer activities are staged by the National Day of

Paterson, N.J. - Jon Bon Jovi is slated to be on hand when Gov. Chris Christie signs New Jersey´s drug overdose prevention bill into law Thursday. The measure shields someone overdosing on drugs and those who get them medical assistance from prosecution if they act in good faith. The issue hits close to home for Bon Jovi. The rocker´s daughter apparently overdosed on heroin in a New York college dorm room last year. A district attorney dropped drug charges against Stephanie Bongiovi and another student under New York´s so-called Good Samaritan 911 law that was designed to reduce overdose

The New York Times´s Trip Gabriel reported Tuesday that each side has rested its case in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, on trial for four charges of infanticide at his Philadelphia clinic. The first paragraph is revealing: “They are known as Baby Boy A, Baby C, Baby D and Baby E, all of whom prosecutors call murdered children and the defense calls aborted fetuses -- the very difference in language encapsulating why anti-abortion advocates are so passionate about drawing attention to the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, which wrapped up here on Monday with summations by both sides.”

A jury began deliberations Tuesday in the grisly murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, the 72-year-old Philadelphia abortion doctor accused of murdering four live fetuses by "snipping" their spinal cords after botched abortions. (Snip) According to the prosecution, these atrocities went undetected by state health inspectors, who visited the clinic just three times, and unreported by other abortion providers, who knew of Gosnell´s reputation and even visited the clinic.

Next week, the Senate will begin making changes to and, hopefully, improve the immigration-reform legislation I introduced with several colleagues last month. This part of the process is a chance to fix America´s broken immigration system and end today´s de facto amnesty for those who live here illegally. It will also show that Washington can work when leaders listen to the American people and invoke their wisdom in debates and legislative work. In January, I outlined my principles for conservative immigration reform in these pages—principles that guided the drafting of this legislation.

When Republicans woke up to defeat on Election Day 2012, it was clear that they had been outfoxed and outmaneuvered by President Obama and his campaign. Now it´s clear why. Under the political radar, Team Obama made an unprecedented effort to understand the voters and speak their language, slicing and dicing the electorate with a sophistication and savvy that the Republicans couldn´t match and are still scrambling to replicate. The result was the rebuilding and in some cases expansion of Obama´s original coalition from 2008, and a remarkable comprehension of what really motivated voters in 2012.

Before Barack Obama was elected president, he won over many civil libertarians and Bush Administration critics by promising to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, arguing that it was wrong and unnecessary to indefinitely lock people in cages without charges, trial, or hope of release. The strong stance he took during the campaign has led many defenders of his White House to conclude that his failure to keep his promises on Gitmo isn´t actually his fault. They blame an intransigent Congress. It is, in fact, the case that Congressional Republicans and many Democrats
