Priest Calls on Bishops to Publicly Oust 14 Catholic Senators Who Voted for Late-Term Abortion

By Craig Bannister | February 6, 2018

Father Dwight Longnecker is calling on bishops to publicly inform the 14 senators claiming to be Catholic who voted against a bill to ban late-term abortion that they’ve excommunicated themselves.

Those 14 senators ensured that the “barbaric practice” of late-term abortion is still legal, when they could have guaranteed the passage of a bill to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, Fr. Longnecker wrote in an online post:

I’m absolutely shocked this morning to learn that the bill to outlaw abortions past twenty weeks has been defeated in the US Senate. 

“Even more shocking is the fact that fourteen senators who identify as Catholics voted against the bill–in effect giving the nod to late term abortions.  Even worse is the realization that if these men and women had voted for the bill it would have passed. Therefore, these fourteen have ensured that this barbaric procedure is still legal in America.”

Thus, their respective bishops should take immediate action against these senators – including denying them the sacraments of the Church..............
