FOCA Overhyped Article is Overhyped

This article brings up some good points. Some people are misinformed and don't really understand what's going on but the bottom line is this:

1. Obama said publically that "signing FOCA would be the first thing He would do". The large reaction, especially within Catholic cirlces, is because he said he would sign the most pro-abortion act ever (there is no denying that this is act is outrageously pro-abortion).

American people, alot of the times, simply have too much going on in their lives to pay attention as to whether or not a bill is in the congerss or whatever. The public outcry (with the post-cards and everything) made it very clear: even if this bill is in the "committee stages" we (whoever sent the cards) do not support it. If it's in the House, we don't support it, if it's in the senate: we dont support it etc.

This reaction did it's job. FOCA seems to have no possibility of passing in the near future, but if this didn't happen and everyone was quiet then it would go unnoticed.

This is the secular's media way of trying to make catholics look like idiots and ostracize those who care about this devastating legislation. For once, catholics took a stand againts something and I would like to see more of it.

This article also makes fun of the catholic's analysis that Obama is the the most pro-abortion president we have had. The article makes it seem, again, like we are idiots. He has only been president a month or so, but look at his voting record as a senator. Baby-born alive protection act??? He voted againts it.

This article is a sly way of bringing doubt and shadows into the sobering reality in our country. This "FIGHT FOCA" campaign did it's job, I'd say.

Also, with that quote that "right-wing people are trying to mislead the people" is rediculous. By right-wing he means the United States bishops and those advising them. OF course, some email chains exagerated facts, but the bishops have been moderate, clear and unequivocal. They don't even want the SLIGHTEST possibility of this thing becoming a law.

I wouldn't be suprised if FOCA is brought into congerss little by little as to slip past the american people's awareness of it.
