From a press release by the American Life League:

American Life League executive director Shaun Kenney announced a new campaign to investigate whether young mothers will be referred for abortions by Caritas Christi, the Boston Archdiocese-affiliated health-care provider, after its joint venture with CeltiCare goes into effect July 1.

“Caritas Christi and the Archdiocese of Boston have given reassurances that no Catholic hospitals will make abortion referrals,” stated Kenney. “After July 1, we will put that guarantee to the test.”

“American Life League and its associates will not be satisfied with a policy that provides degrees of separation between the mother and an abortion business,” said Kenney. “Catholics within the Archdiocese of Boston should be told the truth.”

“This scandal will not go away quietly so long as mothers and their babies are threatened by abortion through a supposedly Catholic health-care system,” stated Kenney. “Either our Catholic hospitals live up to our Catholic identity and protect every human being – born and preborn – or we compromise our principles and turn a blind eye for the sake of state and federal funding. Mothers and their babies deserve much better, and we will do everything we can to ensure this is the case.

Not that many years ago abortion was illegal in this country. Now we have the threat of the Catholic Church being caught up in this intrinsic evil.

Thank you ALL and Judie Brown for keeping an eye on this potential scandal. What a shame that precious resources must be expended in order to keep an eye on our own Church.
