Facing Ad Campaign From Catholic Organization, Kildee Backs Off Support For Pro-Abortion Senate Language

From CatholicVoteAction.org: Yesterday I read the surprising news reported by Roll Call  that Catholic Congressman Dale Kildee had told them he “will probably vote” for the pro-abortion Senate language being proposed in the House of Representatives soon.

Here at CatholicVoteAction.org we were deeply disturbed that one of the Bart Stupak coalition of pro-life Democrats – and a Catholic – might be tempted to change his mind at this critical time.

We put a plan into action to purchase radio advertisements in Kildee’s district, to make Catholics and other pro-lifers aware of Kildee’s change of heart, so they could let him know how strongly they oppose sending money to abortion providers with this legislation.

As a courtesy, we called Kildee’s office and told them about our intentions, and about our dismay at his changed position.

Linsey Beck, Kildee’s legislative staffer, told us that the media reports were inaccurate, and that the representative has not decided to vote for the Senate language bill.
