CNSNews.com - U.S. Bishops Ask President Obama Not to Reverse Bush's Pro-Life Policies "In a letter made public on Monday, Cardinal Francis George, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, asked President Barack Obama not to abandon the pro-life policies put into place during the Bush administration.

Those policies include a ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, protection of federally funded health care providers who have a moral objection to abortion, and the reversal of the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits federal dollars being spent on abortion in foreign countries."

"The bishops also told politicians they cannot leave their faith at the door of Congress. Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, Pa. — Vice President-elect Joe Biden's hometown — went further at the meeting. He suggested the bishops use 'canonical measures' — such as denying Communion — to make their point.
'I cannot have the Vice President-elect coming to Scranton and saying he learned his values there,' Martino said, 'when those values are — at least in the area of abortion — utterly against the teachings of the Catholic Church.'"
