Planned Parenthood thanks Liberal Nuns

I wonder how much longer will Archbishop Wuerl will remain silent.

Washington D.C., Mar 27, 2010 / 07:28 am (CNA).- Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has praised the Catholic religious sisters who endorsed the Senate health care bill, claiming they deserve gratitude for making “a critical demonstration of support” for a bill that significantly increased coverage of “reproductive health care.”

Writing for the Huffington Post Wednesday in her capacity as president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Richards claimed that it was Catholic nuns who “most importantly broke with the bishops and the Vatican to announce their support for health care reform.”

The 2008 Migration Conference or "How I Learned to Thwart the US Government on Illegal Aliens"

Well, it seems (from my humble reading) that the 2008 Migration Conference will be a humdinger.

Yes, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services (USCCB/MRS), will be pulling out all the stops in attempting to stop the enforcement of immigration laws.

Yes, you too can attend such sessions as:

• How To Combat Federal Raids, State & Local Immigration Enforcement Initiatives
• Motions to Suppress and Evidence Issues in Removal
• Strategy Session on State and Local Immigration Measures. Description: During the last two years, the number of anti-immigrant proposals in state legislatures and city councils has risen sharply…
• Raid Preparation: Learn to Give 'Know Your Rights' Presentations in Your Communities

Now, I am surprised that they are staying at the Hilton Washington. I mean if they really wanted to show their solidarity with illegal aliens, they should hire a couple of dozen to help run the conference.

They could probably find a school that is not being used since it is summer (and pay a fee) and then call upon CASA of MARYLAND for assistance. CASA is well know for assisting illegal aliens via their laborer centers (and making a living off of government grants). You can link to CASA off of the Maryland Catholic Conference website.

Illegal aliens can staff the registration booths, put together the conference bags, cook food, clean up, pick up the evaluations at the end of sessions, staff the booths, set-up the rooms for presentations, etc. You can probably reduce the cost of registration by half.

Instead of calling upon the US government to help solve the problem, show that you are part of the solution. Show your solidarity with illegal aliens by hiring them to help run the conference.
