Pro-abort Congresswoman (and Chief-Deputy Whip) Diana DeGette:
The Hill writes up an ABC interview:Hat tip: Opinionated Catholic, who has even more on the story.She also said that religiously-affiliated groups like the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which had pushed for the Stupak provision, should be shut out of the process.[More]
"Last I heard, we had separation of church and state in this country," she said. "I've got to say that I think the Catholic bishops and all of the other groups shouldn't have input."
UPDATE (18 November)
It seems The Hill misquoted Congresswoman DeGette.
