Don't let worst-case scenarios dictate policy | National Catholic Reporter

Don't let worst-case scenarios dictate policy | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Doerflinger is the reason that Catholic Bishops involved in the National Right to Life Committee have sold their souls to the Republican Party.  Indeed, the Susan B. Anthony Fund used his faulty analysis in ridding the House of pro-life Democrats who voted for the Affordable Care Act.  Shameful.  Programs funded by ACA subsidies fund abortions no less and no more than those plans for employees of large corporations who receive a tax exclusion to pay for health insurance.  Richard never bothers to mention this.  It would ruin his case.  What the GOP most objects to is not abortions provided by insurers under the Act or even the basic structure of the Act itself.  What they hate is the funding through a payroll tax on non-wage (also called unearned) income over $250,000 - largely because their donor base (Grover Norquist) hates it.
