A Pen, A Pen, My Soul for a Pen

At least Stupak got money for 3 airports in his district.
But Sr. Carol Keehan settled for 1 of the 20 pens Obama used to sign the abortion ladden Health Care fund she endorsed. (Although the Catholic Hospitals she lobbies for made out like bandits.)

Today, President Obama signed his health care bill into law, using 20 separate pens to write his name.
The last pen he used, reports Daniel Foster, will be given to Sister Carol Keehan, president and CEO of the Catholic Health Association. http://www.chausa.org/ ckeehan@chausa.org Sr. Keehan, as most of you know, was a staunch ally of the Democrat efforts to push through their health care reform. She issued press releases on behalf of her organization asking representatives in Congress to pass the legislation, even without including abortion funding fixes (which they did). She met with Obama personally several days before the final vote in Congress, she contacted individual congressmen and assuaged their conscience that they could vote for the bill as-is, etc." ( “… but for a pen.”)
Given what Sr. Carol is paid reportedly goes back to the order, she probably needed the pen to stretch her budget. (Yes I am being sarcastic.) On the other hand we have all these "Catholic" hospitals that were started by religious orders to help the poor & needy but are now run like big businesses & are greedier in most cases than any of the so called "greedy capitalists" the left criticizes. & while these hospitals are technically still owned by those orders, many of those orders are the same LCWR bunch that criticizes capitalism while, as I said, let these hospitals be run in the way they supposedly abhor. & as for the "not performin abortions" mentioned below. Well, given the track reciords of some of these hospitals (performing sterilizations etc) I am sure they often have & will continue to find ways to perform abortions without them being called abortions. ( Bishop Vasa Severs Church's Ties with Hospital over Sterilizations, Boston Catholic Hospitals Pull Out of Abortion Venture at 11th Hour, Saskatchewan Catholic Hospital Withdraws Sterilization Ban)
"Sister" Carol is paid a salary of $856,093 by the Catholic Health Association which she reportedly gives back to her order.
The "Catholic" Health Association now has as its official stand that while its own members will not perform abortions in their "Catholic" hospitals, they will support a national health insurance scheme that will fund abortions at other hospitals! (Sister Carol Keehan sells out.)
