Where's the Catholic Lobbyist? Running away from pro-life bills?

At the Life Lobby Ladies Day, Roger Martin, Catholic lobbyist for Oregon Catholics walked the other way (literally) before the press conference on HB3512,  for unborn pain prevention, in the Capitol basement.

He could have supported the bill without wearing a "Unborn Children Feel Pain  like you and me" sticker.However, I don't think he would be caught dead with one, even a "precious feet" pin.  Roger voted to legalize abortion in Oregon as a legislator in 1968, it passed and he hasn't yet recanted.  He was part of establishing abortion, which  shows his values or lack of Catholic ones.  Knowing this the Archdiocese of Portland kept him and hired him three more times.

At the Life Lobby Day, women from many congregations were there.  This was an ecumenical moment that passed by.  I suppose it's true that Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and their progressive attitudes on abortion and homosexuality are more important as lobbyists for the Catholic church instead of Roger Martin,  What's he there for?

The press conference, friendships, legislature visits and opportunity to educates our personal legislators that the unborn after 20 weeks, probably earlier, feel pain and it's barbaric to allow this.

The pro-life testimony versus that of Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America showed the difference in the value system of both sides.

The insanity of wanting to ignore the pain of an unborn child joins the minds of those who don't want any health regulations where they kill these children.  The clinic regulation bill is coming up:

Senate Bill (SB) 901 Safe Clinic Act. 

Bill Summary:

Revises definition of ambulatory surgical center to include medical facility operated substantially for purpose of performing abortions. Specifies criteria.  Currently medical facilities that perform abortions are not regulated by the Oregon Health Department.

The third bill would permit an opt-out from paying for abortions with federal money:

House Bill (HB) 3600 Federal Funding of Abortion Opt-out
Bill Summary:
The Federal Funding of Abortion Opt-out bill would prohibit insurance plans subsidized in the health insurance exchange mandated for Oregon in the 2010 federal health care law from offering abortion coverage unless the patient seeking coverage paid for their abortion with a separate rider.

It's interesting how pro-aborts claim that those who want to protect unborn life are considered  pushing morals down their throats.  Reality Check.  How about them pushing their "religion" of abortion on us?

"It almost seems to hint that women would choose abortion even if they knew their child satisfied their requirements of personality.

G. K. Chesterton has humorously pointed out the danger in this: "Let all the babies be born. Then let us drown those we do not like."

The anxious mother need not worry; if she decides that mothering is not right for her, she may simply dispose of the unwanted baggage.

Then we would all applaud her right to choose and murmur that only when morality is placed in the hands of the individual can progress occur"
