This is very telling:
Assemblyman John J. McEneny is a Catholic who supports some abortion rights. The Albany Democrat said he backs Hubbard’s decision not to go down “the slippery slope of becoming judge and jury.”
Well, duh, of course he does!
“I don’t see priests making a judgment on the conscience of a person,” McEneny said. “Are they voting for a pro-choice bill because they want to kill unborn babies? Or is it because they want to prevent back-alley abortions?”
So in other words, pro-choice Catholic politicians can deduce that the Bishop does not want back-alley abortions I guess.
