Catholic Medical Association: Press release on Coakley hostility to conscience rights

Catholic Medical Association Press Release: “Second, Brehany commented, ‘Coakley’s statements reveal a specific hostility to faithful Catholics. While some news stories of the interview have referred to “devout Catholics” in the emergency room, the interviewer actually referenced Catholics who “believe what the Pope teaches.” This is the definition of a real Catholic, not of a devout Catholic. Coakley’s dismissal of their faith and rights and is a shocking display of disrespect for members of one religion. Even on legal grounds, it is inadequate, as Matt Bowman of the Alliance defense fund has pointed out here.’”
