Supreme Knight Carl Anderson is urging all Knights of Columbus across America to contact their U.S. Senators immediately to register opposition to the health care reform bill. In its current form, it would mandate abortion coverage in private insurance and allow use of federal funds for elective abortions. A vote could take place before Christmas.
“The U.S. Bishops are asking all Catholics to contact their Senators to urge them to not support the bill in its current form and amend the bill so it upholds longstanding policies against the federal funding of abortion,” Anderson wrote in a letter to state deputies.
Anderson invoked the writings of Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae, stating that Christians and all people of good will are “not to cooperate formally in practices which, even if permitted by civil legislation, are contrary to God's law.”
