The Archdiocese of Boston is on track to provide abortion “services” and American Life League is rolling out an aggressive campaign to expose the scandal.
Celticare, the joint venture of archdiocesan Caritas Christi Health Care network and Centene Corp., will join Massachusetts’ subsidized health program effective July 1.
Celticare lists abortion, family planning and “reproductive services” on their web site. Centene and Caritas Christi both said they would ensure access to all services required by the Massachusetts Connector Authority, including “confidential family planning services.”
“We will not allow this scandal to go unnoticed,” said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. “The Catholic Church in Boston is set to become a partner in the abortion industry.”

No, it’s not.
didn’t they just say they will not do or refer abortions?
What is the problem here? The liberal U.S. Catholic leadership is a bunch of Relativists first, disciples of Jesus second. You wonder where your parishoners went to? Bible based community churches, that’s where. And we love The Word and our fellowship. Thanks for showing me the way out of your oppression and into the light, guys.
“While the Archdiocese of Boston continues to assert that the matter is under review, Centene Corp. has and continues to state the current plan will become effective July 1.”
Cardinal O’Malley must realize this situation requires his immediate and definitive action,” Brown said. “The Cardinal must not permit this scandal to continue. It would be tragic for yet another debacle, caused by misinformation, contradictory statements and shameful cover-ups, to besmirch the reputation of the Archdiocese of Boston.”
What?! Now, Catholics just aren’t THAT blatantly stupid in Boston are they?!
Even if they say they will not refer or provide services, if they EVER yookw up with a government entity, they will shortly have NO choice but to do so — and they KNOW IT.
The all-corrupting lure of government money.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
The Leftist Massachusetts government wants free access to abortions on demand. If you want their money you will follow their rules.
Want to make your own rules get your own money.
The Mass legislature pushed the Archdiocese out of the adoption business by forcing them to give children up for adoption to homosexuals, and they're going to force the Archdiocese to close its hospitals. Sad, but predictable.
I always love how these bishops love to ask for “public funding” then are angered when the state tells them what to do.
You expect them to be smarter here than in South Bend?
