Freedom Of Choice Act

President Obama, in reference to the deceptive Freedom of Choice Act of "abortion on demand" murderous attitude; you would be wise to realize that you are not greater than the Catholic Church, begun by our Savior Jesus; and built (MT-16:16-19) on the foundation of St. Peter, the first Bishop of Rome and his successors since then, to the present Pope Benedict XVI. Neither attempt to intimidate us by withholding specific government funds provided to our more than 500 catholic hospitals nationwide!

If the Catholic Bishops of the United States decide in protest to close our not-for-profit catholic hospitals within their dioceses because of your insistence on mandatory abortions, then how and when shall your Health Plan replace them? The many thousands of hospital beds and thousands of doctors, nurses and medical specialists, if they were compelled by federal and-or state law to be closed for refusing to perform "routine" abortions.

You would also be wise to realize that hundreds of millions of those public government tax dollars given to public hospitals also come from millions of Catholic men and women and their businesses! If you think that it would be unconscionable for our Catholic bishops to close those catholic hospitals under their religious jurisdiction and thereby deprive hundreds of thousands yearly of their medical services, that situation would "equally deprive" hundreds of thousands of fetus children being killed from "death by abortion."

Now, once again, realize that "without human life" there is nothing else "humanly to consider." Therefore, wake up spiritually President Obama and repent of your abortions "execution of human life" without trial by jury attitude. "Gates of hell" includes the abomination of abortion.
