In an appearance on FOX News on Sunday, the Vatican's Archbishop Raymond Burke reinforced warnings from the pro-life community over Democratic Sen. Max Baucus' proposed health care legislation. Pro-life leaders say that the bill poses too much of a threat to the unborn, elderly, disabled, and chronically ill.The Senate Finance Committee is expected to meet this week to vote on the plan, the latest version of the Democrats' health care overhaul to be introduced to the Senate.
"The Church certainly wants to support the provision of health care for those who are in most need, [but] we can never accept the mandate of abortion and this is abortion, provision of abortion, and this is in the Baucus bill. So it's certainly not acceptable," said Archbishop Burke, the head of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican's highest court.
