NOW President O’Neill Slams Catholic Bishops

Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, accused Catholic bishops of “smelling blood” and deciding to get involved as backers of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment.  She added that their actions to remove abortion coverage from health care legislation recently approved by the U.S. House of Representatives equates to overturning Roe v. Wade.

Of course, O’Neill isn’t one to let truth get in the way of her feminist viewpoints.  She made that clear while speaking before a group of single-payer health care advocates during the opening session of the 2009 Healthcare-Now.org National Strategy Conference Saturday in St. Louis.  I captured O’Neill in this video while covering the session as the only journalist who attended the conference Saturday.
