A Coming "War" Between the Obama Administration and the Catholic Church

By John-Henry Westen

WASHINGTON, November 19, 2008 (LifeSiteNews. com) - The possible signing of
the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) by President-Elect Barack Obama would be "the
equivalent of a war" an unnamed senior Vatican official recently told TIME
magazine.

FOCA is a bill that would do away with state laws on abortion, including laws
mandating parental involvement, or banning partial birth abortion. FOCA would
also compel taxpayer funding of abortions, and, of greatest concern to
Bishops, would force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform
abortions.

Obama has in the past said that he would make signing FOCA one of the highest
priorities of his presidency.

Chicago Cardinal Francis George, the current president of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops -
"... FOCA would coerce all Americans into subsidizing and promoting abortion
with their tax dollars. It would counteract any and all sincere efforts by
government and others of good will to reduce the number of abortions in our
country."

The Cardinal added: "FOCA would have an equally destructive effect on the
freedom of conscience of doctors, nurses and health care workers whose personal
convictions do not permit them to cooperate in the private killing of unborn
children..."

Catholic League president Bill Donohue - "... were FOCA to become law... this
would mean the closure of every Catholic hospital in the nation: No bishop is
going to stand by and allow the federal government to dictate what medical
procedures must be performed in Catholic hospitals. Make no mistake about it,
the bishops would shut down Catholic hospitals before acquiescing in the
intentional killing of an innocent child. Were this to happen, it would not only
cripple the poor, it would cripple the Obama administration. "

Donohue concluded: "It is for reasons like these that the Catholic League
urges President Bush to move with dispatch in instituting rules protecting the
religious rights of all health care workers. If Obama wants to undo them, it
will set up a confrontation he will surely regret."

Vatican Cardinal James Stafford labeled Obama's anti-life policies as
"aggressive, disruptive, and apocalyptic, " also noting that, "On November 4, 2008,
America suffered a cultural earthquake" (see coverage:

FOCA would threaten Catholic health care institutions and Catholic Charities
