Quinn and Catholic bishops to discuss abortion, other issues

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter [e-mail] November 17, 2011 1:58PM

After getting a standing ovation from a pro-abortion rights group that helped him win the governor’s race, Gov. Pat Quinn revealed Thursday that he would be meeting with the state’s 13 Catholic bishops next month to discuss abortion and other issues.

“We hope that you can make time in your schedule so that we might speak together about several topics, the first being your personal approval of laws permitting the killing of unborn children,” the bishops wrote to Quinn in a letter Wednesday.

Two dozen protestors, including some fellow members of Quinn’s Catholic faith, stood outside the Personal PAC luncheon at the Hilton and Towers Thursday, some holding signs that read, “Shame on pro-abortion ‘Catholic’ Gov. Pat Quinn.”

Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George initially scolded Quinn for agreeing to speak at the luncheon, until George was told that Quinn was giving an award to a rape victim, Jennie Goodman. George then softened his criticism of the governor.

He beat out a rapture ready clone of Wisconsin governor Walker by less than 20,000 votes last election. Elections do matter.

1. The cardinals can go pound sand...

..just as soon as that cult of child-rapists pays taxes it can get involved in the political process...until then it should keep it's women-hating views to itself...

And I too am greatly relieved that Gov Quinn was able to beat his Scott Walker-like clone opponent Bill Brady...

6. And that has what to do with the point I was making here?

If you have a problem with the wording the Sun-Times reporter used why don't you send an email and ask that writer about it? I included the email address of the reporter in my OP.
