Which, predictably enough, is exactly what the abortion-rights lobby has accused the Catholic bishops of being motivated by: Planned Parenthood’s Laurie Rubiner, according to Lawrence’s PD story today, “blames the collapse of the earlier House agreement on abortion on 11th-hour ‘intimidation tactics’ by Catholic bishops, including robo-calls and requirements that priests give sermons on the issue. ‘It was pretty shocking . . . This was their no. 1 priority. Not getting health care to immigrants or low-income women or children. Their no. 1 priority was restricting abortion for middle class women.’ ”
