To all those so called "pro lifer's" commenting on this article. If you do not want an abortion do not get one! But start examining where you stand on war and the death penalty.

When we studied the history of the Church at Seminary in the 1950's it was suggested that at least one if not more early bishops of Rome (later called also pope) were Moors - men from Africa. A "black" pope is logical today because of the great, even greater, number of southern hemisphere Christians and Catholics. Only caveat is the possible overboard conservatism possible that he might seem "orthodox".

Barb, you are sounding like a broken record.

This is a little off topic, but.....

The problem with abortion is: It has escalated into "killing" of freedoms to choose other things. The medical community (the practitioners with consciences) are more fearful of being FORCED to do something against their will.

I don't think this is what America is about at all....be forced to do something against your will.
You can grumble about this one operation called abortion,
but realize....when evil has been given an inch, it then wants a mile.

Someday, YOU, yourself, will be FORCED to do something against your will.
Granted, you will not be happy one bit.

So our fair government with evil at its core has decided to appease that part of the medical community with a conscience.
The carrot: No current gov plans on health care will bleed money from the practitioners. All the plans sock it to insurance, pharma, and medical equipment manufacturers.

But in exchange...the plans want to FORCE the entire medical community to do evil's bidding, otherwise loose their license to practice.

Evil didn't stop there....EVERYONE in the whole US will be FORCED to provide funding so that evil can be committed unleashed.

There will be NO choice for YOU or anyone anymore.

Evil will not stop at abortion.

Now, on topic...
