NEW YORK (Catholic League) - Amy Sullivan, a writer for Time magazine who shills for the Democrats, posted a piece today saying that the Catholic Church's campaign against the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)--the most radical piece of pro-abortion legislation in history--is much ado about nothing.

Following the talking points of her pro-abortion friends in the Catholic community who insist they are against abortion, she says "no such bill has been introduced."

The fact is that Rep. Jerry Nadler and Sen. Barbara Boxer previously introduced FOCA, but they got nowhere.

The fact is that they have publicly pledged to reintroduce the same bill this term.

The fact is that the reason they haven't done so yet is due to pro-life Catholics who are honestly pro-life.

What it comes down to is this: pro-abortion Catholics are angry that pro-life Catholics have succeeded so far in intimidating FOCA supporters from going forward.
