(LifeSiteNews.com) - Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has given her highest accolades to the social justice lobby of Roman Catholic nuns who "broke with the bishops and the Vatican" to support the health care bill that is set to unleash federal funding for abortion.

"In the final days before the bill was passed, it was the Roman Catholic nuns who most importantly broke with the bishops and the Vatican to announce their support for health care reform," gushed Richards in a Huffington Post column March 24, referring to the social justice lobby Network.

"This brave and important move, demonstrating that they cared as much about the health care of families in America as they did about church hierarchy, was a critical demonstration of support," she continued. "Bart Stupak may not ask the nuns for advice, as he recently announced to the press, but maybe next time he should." the rest
