Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.How many Catholics are there in Massachusetts? Way to go, Martha!
Martha Coakley: No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.
Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.
Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.
I frankly want the person who believs life is worth preserving if I am lying on an ER gurney. But I'm not a Democrat . . .
All Catholic health workers who would love to stick a catheter in Senate candidate Martha Coakley, raise your gloved hand . . .

Well I'm not a Catholic but I have a rusty shovel that I could donate for the job.
"No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear."
Isn't amazing how pressure reveals character. The fact is that a significant number of hospitals on the front lines are religious institutions -- Catholic, Adventist, Jewish, Presbyterian -- that take their Hippocratic obligations seriously: first do no harm.
Coakley and her fellow storm troopers believe such institutions are not missions of mercy but are or should be organs of the State. To take over healthcare in America is a direct assault on personal liberty, the FIRST of which (mentioned specifically in the Bill of Rights) is religious liberty. Speech will be next: Fairness Doctrine, government assistance to newspapers, "net neutrality."
The "Emergency Contraceptives" issue is a sham, just like all of the others. The morning after pills are widely available at Planned Parenthood Centers and pharmacies across America and can be prescribed by any compliant physician. The only reason to dispense them in the ER is to indoctrinate and subvert the compassion and reason of an already traumatized victim, and to convert her into a "pro-choice advocate."
Be wary of these people, they are fascists.
Mark,
Exactly what I was going to say. It's like I always say, "When people tell you who they are, (by the words of their mouths) BELIEVE THEM."
I can't separate my politics from my belief system. Murder is murder. We either believe in the sanctity of life or we don't...none of this when-it's-convenient-or-politically expedient crap.
These talkin' outta both sides of their mouths dipsticks need to put a cork in it and we need to call them on it EVERYTIME they do it.
Backlash, people, backlash.
Having lived in Andover, MA and here in Calif, I'm well versed in "stupid" when it comes to politician-spin.... Lying hypocritical liars.
Aren't we all....
oops...."Aren't we all" above refers to all of us being "well versed!"
D'oh
Boy, they tick me off....
And if THAT wasn't enough, just ponder this "reality check":

Yikes!
Holy mackeral !!
That statement could qualify Coakley's campaign for the sacrament of Last Rights. Lots of micks in Mass.
RIP Coakley campaign.
RIP Obamacare.
junior: You don't know the half of it!
Lived in CT near the MA border;...micks, maybe.
Catholic...well?
The jury is out on that one.
The 'Kennedy thing' is just like a virus.
And it's infected the whole Northeast.
As a Midwesterner, I wanted to get the hell outta there...sorry, folks, it is just scary. I mean it.

And another comment.
I was in CT the fall that "Plan B" was being "implemented" and the bishops there fell for it...with the blessing of "orthodox" moral theologians. The only catch was (according to further study and the statement of Fr. T. Euteneur of HLI) was that the updated science said that "emergency contraception" was ABORTIFACIENT, which the previous moral theologians were not aware of (and they were orthodox, by the way)...talk about confusing. I was at a meeting in a seminary where an Emergency Room M.D. stood up and asked, "What am I supposed to do when someone demands this? I can't do this; it's an abortion".
Good for her. I don't know if she is still in practice or in the E.R., but I was just appalled that the bishops in CT caved in to this garbage.
Coakley referred to Red Sox Pitcher, who Curt Shilling, who won the World Series in 04' as a 'Yankee Fan'
Seriously....

Well, here, for us pro-lifers, is the more pertinant part of the Hippocratic Oath.
"I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art."
This is from a more modern version of the oath--the origianl refers to a "pessary for an abortion."
I am from CT and I think I know why the bishops caved on "Plan B". I think it may have put Catholic hospitals here out of business. I would like to know for sure, though.
