IF YOU DON’T support using federal funds to help middle-class families get health insurance, then you can’t call yourself pro-life. Or so says Catholics United, a “non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition.”
Yesterday the group launched a series of radio ads attacking ten Christian members of Congress who voted against the Democrats’ bill to reauthorize–and expand–the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP). President Bush vetoed the bill earlier this month and the vote to override his veto will take place this week. Catholics United hopes to pressure these congressmen to reverse their vote by arguing that they have “compromised their pro-life voting records.”
