The President's Nun: Obamacare Scranton Scandal Explodes
American Spectator ^ | 10.11.10 @ 6:09AM | By Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 10/11/2010 7:18:48 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

A mushrooming political battle over ObamaCare involving the White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun has just exploded in, of all places, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Charges from the Scranton medical community of intimidation by the Obama White House and its allies are filling the air.

Looks like there is one powerful, influential nun that doesn't mind putting on her Obamah knee-pads.

They are concerned the hospitals will not do abortions. This seems to be behind their agenda in closing them down. The nun is a radical social justice advocate.

I suspect that the greyhaired leftwing feminist nuns are selling off the hospitals for the same reason they are selling off their schools: they have very few novices, few nuns under the age of 65 earning money --- no "younger generation" --- so they need to sell off the assets to fund their retirement. It may not be that they are actually "pro-abortion": but it's something they're willing to accept as part of the bigger deal.

I can only thank God for the new orders --- like the Dominican Sisters in Nashville --- who will be there to love and serve after the tastefully-suited Sister-Carol-CEO's sell out and die out.

This "nun" is nothing more than a modern-day Judas.

“And notably, in a town that is heavily Catholic, the realization that three hospitals that did not perform abortions could be sold to owners who would allow the procedure is infuriating.”
