A major federal budget amendment intended to protect abortion foes does not apply, it ruled.
Leaders with the U.S. bishops? conference said it was ?shocking? that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services allowed the State of California to force all employers, including churches, to fund and facilitate elective abortions.
?Even those who disagree on the issue of life should be able to respect the conscience rights of those who wish not to be involved in supporting abortion,? Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York and Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore said June 21.
Shocking?
Who here is shocked by this? Not I.
