In her 2006 abortion veto statement, Sebelius declared: "My Catholic faith teaches me that life is sacred. Personally, I believe abortion is wrong." Yet, a year later, Sebelius invited Tiller and his staff to a party at the governor's mansion. She thanked Tiller for his generosity in financing her election and Morrison's. In May 2007, Sebelius was featured at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in Kansas City, Mo.

Obama, while asserting "nobody is pro-abortion," has said that if his two daughters "make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

When Archbishop Naumann told the Kansas City Star this month that Sebelius must confess "scandalous behavior that has misled people into dangerous behavior," the governor's spokeswoman responded that "receiving Communion has not been a problem in the past for her." An answer came from Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, on his Website last week, by reproving "verbal gymnastics, good alibis and pious talk about 'personal opposition' to killing unborn children."
