The following comes from an Oct. 31 email sent by Operation Rescue.
Yesterday, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appeared before the House Energy and Commerce Committee and testified under oath that she did not know if Obamacare paid for abortions. Can we seriously believe that?
We know Sebelius to be a radical abortion activist who, as Kansas governor, invested the better part of her two terms covering up criminal abortions and blocking legislation that would have supplied oversight to abortionists who were running amok over the health and safety of women.
If there is one word that describes Sebelius’ actions as a public “servant” it is the word “cover-up.”
As governor, Sebelius covered up for filthy and unsafe abortion clinic conditions when she vetoed common sense clinic safety laws in 2003 and 2005. In her 2003 veto statement, Sebelius proudly declared that Kansas abortion clinics met the “highest standards for medical care in the country.” Meanwhile, abortion clinics in Kansas City and Wichita were operating in blood-smeared facilities infested with roaches and other vermin while George Tiller’s late-term abortion clinic in Wichita was sending one woman after another to the emergency room – and one to the morgue.
If this is what Sebelius considers the “highest standards for medical care,” then we have every right to be concerned on several levels about Obamacare under Sebelius’ administration.
In fact, Sebelius hosted a secret soirée for Tiller and his entire abortion clinic staff at the governor’s mansion in 2007 while Tiller was under criminal investigation by the attorney general’s office. Photographs of that event that were obtained and published by Operation Rescue show a cozy relationship between Sebelius and Tiller and have appeared recently on Fox News and other news outlets as evidence of Sebelius’ avid support of radical late-term abortions opposed by the vast majority of Americans.
However, when we made public those photos and the receipts that proved the party were paid for by Kansas taxpayers, Sebelius fabricated a story that the party was a prize Tiller won at a silent auction held by a political action committee. Operation Rescue again obtained evidence that her story was completely untrue and that taxpayers did indeed foot the bill for the lavish steak-and-lobster gala.
Soon after, Sebelius appeared at a birthday party thrown in her honor by Planned Parenthood where jubilant abortion supporters danced the conga line in celebration of Sebelius’ policies that aided their cause.
Operation Rescue would soon catch Sebelius in more untruths. During her confirmation hearings for the HHS post, Operation Rescue published documents that proved she low-balled the amount of campaign contributions she had received from her friend, Tiller. She was forced to amend her statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That moment of deception delayed her confirmation, but should have derailed it.
Over and over again, the mainstream media has ignored documented evidence of deception benefitting her abortionist friends that should have completely discredited Sebelius long ago. Each time she was caught red-handed in a cover-up of the truth, reporters gave her a pass.
Now, we are supposed to believe Sebelius when she says she does not know if abortion is funded under Obamacare when that issue has been a point of numerous legal challenges and a famous filibuster by Sen. Ted Cruz? Her statement has all the earmarks of another cover-up….
Another “EVIL OBAMACAN” who claims to be Catholic. Where are the Bishops ?
They’re off discussing how not to be judgmental, Joe. But that’s okay because the Bishops are in full communion with the Church and, according to a bounty of Anonymous posters on this website, we the faithful must remain mute or else we’ll be accused of thinking we are holier than Church leadership.
And *that* is the highest crime of all, don’t ya know.
After Cardinal Dolan’s politically astute campaign last year to re- elect Obama, where so you expect them to be? They have been in the pockets of the leftists and collectivists since at least the 1960s and maybe the 1930s.
May I quote Cardinal Dolan: “The Affordable Healthcare Act is exactly what we the Bishops have been promoting for the last 30 years….. with the exception of the birth control and abortion aspects”
Cardinal Raymond Burke announced, a couple of weeks ago, that all so called Catholic politicians that are pro-abortion shouid not approach a priest to receive Holy Communion, that technically they are excommunicated.
The Bishops and Cardinals cannot follow these people around all they can do is make a statement, which they have done.
Joe R.
I am afraid that question will not be answered this side of Eternity.
Anita, they are now like soldiers who have their marching orders, failure to obey those orders has dire consequences, for the bishops, those consequences are Eternal!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!

It’s difficult to understand a person like her. Is power that important? Has she made that bargain — her soul for power? If so she’s already lost, and it looks more like it all the time. I watched a lot of her testimony before the House. She has no shame — which probably comes in quite handy as she demonstrates such a lack of executive competence as to make herself a complete laughing stock. Obama’s lack of basic ability and competence shows in his appointees, doesn’t it ? He’s such a buffoon he cannot recognize another one when he sees one.
This is so sad.
Her actions will reward her in the afterlife. Question is….
Will she Want the earned Rewards?
“Souls are falling into hell like snow flakes falling from the Sky.”
We need to pray for all souls, even Obama and Sebelius. I just pray that Sebelius changes and asks God for forgiveness.
It is hard for us to understand how someone who actively participates in and promotes the killing of children can obtain heaven, but it is up to God, he doesn’t think like us. We are all sinners and probably deserve hell, but thank God for his mercy.
Good comment though.
bo.
Your 100% right!
Pray for all.
We all far short of the kingdom of God and thank God He is our judge. Not man.
It is difficult to understand this agenda of the left. Killing is the answer and if being a bold face liar is appropriate then it’s perfectly ok. Alinski?!
And the Leftists say the GOP has a “War on Women”.
If Ms. Sebelius does not know what is in the Obamacare Bill, she should resign today. It would be her duty to know each and every word of the Bill as the secretary of HHS. Is she a horrible liar or just plain stupid? After viewing her on television, she appears to be both. And to think that she is a Catholic. In my opinion, she is a disgrace to herself and the Catholic Church. She has no shame.
amy,
Did you not read what Cardinal Burke has said? Actually you don’t need to, just read Canon Law!

She should be indicted by Kansas for ripping off the taxpayers. We should call for her resignation on ethical grounds as federal taxpayers and American citizens, and as Catholics, we need to write to her, write to her bishop, and pray for her return to the faith if she ever was actually Catholic in the first place. Even more important in my personal frame of reference is that we need to pray for the souls of the murdered innocents and for the women who sought their murders.
I’m sorry, I’m not yet Catholic enough to be able to pray for the souls of the murderers of our babies. I know I should, but I just can’t bring myself to be that filled with love and charity for my fellow man. Maybe you can pray for me that I learn better how to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. I have a long way yet to go and a short time to get there, as people used to say.
Maryanne,
It is not hard to pray for them when know that they have souls created by God! However, I too have to pray begging God to give me the grace to pray for them.
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!

Maryanne-
I do sympathize with you.
Prayers are being heard and conversions are happening.
The blood of the innocents is overwhelming. Their cry to God is continual and our time of Mercy is soon going to shift to a time of Justice.
Gods justice is pure fair and without corruption. We will be Judged.
Let us prepare by frequenting the Holy Sacraments and love neighbors. Especially the neighbors that have not formed their conscience in union with the Sacred Heart.
It’s our obligation to do so.
I’m still struggling but with God all things are possible.
Don’t worry about Obamacare’s attack against the Catholic Church. Obama has assured us that if you like your religion, you can keep it.
Ski Ven,
If if is a religion he approves of, which is really know religion at all!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts

Sebilius and women like her give feminism a bad name. Susan B. Anthony, an early feminist who helped get the right to vote for women, thought abortion was evil and an abuse of women and children. She was right.
It’s not her fault. Obama appointed her. And it’s not his fault, the American people elected him. Not only that, there is no way he could have been elected, without the Catholic vote. He needed the Catholic vote, and he got it. How did that happen?
Gabe, I’ll grant to you that those who voted for Obama are carry some culpability, and Obama is culpable for appointing Sebelius, but please explain to me exactly how these facts give Obama and Sebilius a dispensation from their roles in any evil they choose to perpetrate? With your reasoning why couldn’t we take it a step further by suggesting that God is responsible for our sins because He created us? In other words, nothing we did would be OUR fault. It would be God’s.
No we can’t believe Sebelius and we would be foolish if we did. My family and I were watching a historical newsreel on the Nuremberg trials just the other night. In the newsreel Hitler’s murderous henchmen leaders openly denied in court they knew anything about the atrocities that were taking place in the concentration camps.
Tracy, I didn’t mean to imply that anyone is not responsible for what they do. However, Obama would not be in his position of power, and therefore impacting this nation and even the world, with his anti-American and anti-Christian policies, if he did not receive millions of Catholic votes. In that very real sense, the American people and more specifically American Catholic voters are responsible for the evil he is unleashing on the world. Catholics should know better. Many of us knew in advance of his election how evil this man is.
