Thirteen Catholic lawmakers in the U.S. Senate voted Monday in favor of a failed attempt to pass a sweeping new abortion law that threatened to override states’ pro-life laws and remove restrictions on abortion up to the point of birth, in some cases.
Their support of the defeated bill, called the Women’s Health Protection Act, placed them sharply at odds with the clear teaching of their Catholic faith, which strictly prohibits abortion and condemns efforts to promote it. Church leaders and Catholic pro-life advocates were quick to criticize the senators’ votes after the measure was defeated on Feb. 28.
“Catholics are tired of seeing their faith used as a political football on the campaign trail, then thrown aside by Catholic political figures when they need to vote along the party line against the Church’s most fundamental moral teachings,” Joshua Mercer, the communications director for CatholicVote, said Monday.
“One of the standout examples tonight was Sen. Bob Casey, a self-proclaimed Catholic who has again and again presented himself to Catholic voters as pro-life.”
Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, took to Twitter to denounce that state’s two Democrat senators — Jack Reed, a Catholic, and Sheldon Whitehouse — for supporting what Tobin called a “very extreme pro-abortion bill.”
“Catholic”? Words, words, words.
Just as Catholic as the ImPopester.........
The following Catholic senators voted in favor of the bill:
Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
Bob Casey, D-Penn
Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
Tim Kaine, D-Va.
Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
Ed Markey, D-Mass.
Bob Menendez, D-N.J.
Patty Murray, D-Wash.
Alex Padilla, D-Calif.,
Jack Reed, D-R.I.
While Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., was absent, he co-sponsored the bill.
Almost all Catholic politicians are Catholic in name only.
CINO.
Every damned one of them is a democrat, too.
It's theorized a baby can feel pain at 13 weeks.
These people are no different than Saddam Hussein throwing humans into giant shredders.
Beyond sick. And should be excommunicated.
The word “Catholic” does not mean anything anymore. Many of the worlds most vile and evil people call themselves Catholic. Come to think of it the pope is evil too.
CINOs.
All democrats...all not catholics...all murderers.
The word “Catholic” comes from the Latin “Catholicum” meaning Universal.
These 13 Senators, and ALL Catholics who support abortion should be excommunicated.
Corrected.

Democrat Catholics.
No wonder, Catholic voters are switching to Republicans.
These 13 Senators, and ALL Catholics who support abortion should be excommunicated.

The black pope may not correct these people, but God knows what they are doing. Each will have to answer to the Almighty One.
Correction accepted.
Many years ago when I worked full time, there were numerous Christians at the place and a great many Catholics, being in Western NY.
Every year around election time, the Catholics, all active, regular church attending, financially supporting their parish, dedicated Catholics would vote democrat. So a few of us Christians started asking a lot of them how, in light of Catholic teaching on abortion, they could vote for abortion supporting democrats.
The answer was almost always the same. *..because democrats are “for the poor”*.
IWO, social welfare programs “for the poor” trumped murdering innocents every time.
Sad to say that it will eventually be: Maria Cantwell, D-Hell; Bob Casey, D-Hell, etc.
Smh…
Not one of them is a genuine Catholic! They are apostate!
