Yesterday was a day of shame and horror for Catholics in America

Fourteen of our senators who identify publicly as Catholics voted against a bill that would outlaw late term abortion.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with this barbaric procedure, here is a reminder.

Remember the baby feels pain at this stage as he is dismembered.

The senators who vote to allow this to continue in America are:

Maria Cantwell – Washington

Susan Collins -Maine

Dick Durbin – Illinois

Kirsten Gillibrand – New York

Heidi Heitkamp – North Dakota

Tim Kaine – Virginia

Patrick Leahy – Vermont

Ed Markey – Massachussetts

Catherine Cortez Masto – Nevada

Claire McCaskill – Missouri

Bob Menendez – New Jersey

Lisa Murkowski – Alaska

Patty Murray – Washington

Jack Reed – Rhode Island

If they had voted as their faith (and their common humanity would dictate) this cruel and horrible practice would have been outlawed.

Therefore these fourteen can be blamed for what happened yesterday.

What kind of Catholic Church are we if their pastors and bishops do not stand up publicly and rebuke these fourteen politicians?

If you have any voice. If these people are your senators, make your voice heard. If they are the senators from your diocese write to your bishop and ask what he is going to do about it.
