abortion litmus test

[Richard Marens]

Some politically and religiously active Catholics suggested to me a couple
of years back that they would have been more visible in the National
Health Care debate (the Church probably runs more health care facilities
than any other organization) had Clinton bent on abortion.  I'm not
endorsing this position in the least, but it does demostrate some of the
political cross currents at work.
