Several prominent Massachusetts pro-lifers are criticizing Cardinal Sean O'Malley and other Catholic bishops in the state for what they call "betrayals" of the pro-life movement.
The pro-lifers cite examples of O'Malley acting chummy in public with politicians who support legal abortion. But they are particularly irked by the bishops' decision in June to ban signature gathering on Church property — including for a petition drive seeking to put a ballot question to voters that would allow the state to ban public funding of abortion.
