"NY Catholic bishops lobby against abortion"

http://online.wsj.com/article/AP565205ceea00452b88c4385a428e9429.html

"Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and archbishop of New York, urged Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers Monday to reject pending bills to codify abortion rights and open a window for victims of child sex abuse to sue for old incidents.

Joined by other Catholic bishops from around New York, Dolan said they were "bolstered" by Cuomo's assurances Monday that following last year's legalization of gay marriage, which they opposed, he'll protect their religious freedom not to sanction such marriages. "We were worried that perhaps the law might force us to violate our conscience," he said."
