As the furor surrounding the Obama Administration’s war on the Catholic Church and the constitutional principle of personal freedom continues to grow, liberal Democrat Martin Heinrich continues to remain silent surrounding the Obama Administration’s recent health care guidelines.
Additionally, Vice President Joe Biden, former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, former Democrat National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine, Democrat Catholic Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) have all broken ranks with President Obama on this issue.
While Heinrich refuses to take a position on this important issue, Santa Fe Archbishop Michael Sheehan has declared that this ruling is an attack on religious liberty.
As KOAT-TV Albuquerque reports:
“This latest mandate stemming from the Obama-Heinrich healthcare law is a troubling overreach into the private healthcare decisions of New Mexicans, and yet while countless legislators have stepped forward and voiced their opinion, Martin Heinrich has remained silent,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “No one in New Mexico should be forced to choose between violating their religious beliefs and facing government penalties, but because of the Heinrich-backed health care law, that’s what they are now facing. New Mexicans deserve to know where their aspiring liberal Senator stands on this critical issue.”
