Archbishop Naumann Criticizes Sebelius Over Abortion Issue
In a column in The Leaven Archdiocese Kansas City Kansas Archbishop Joseph Naumann rebukes Kathleen Sebelius for abortion rights while noting her long service in Kansas politics. Locals like Dan Watkins and Rev. John Schmeidler call for nuanced judgment on candidates. Sebelius defends upholding law and opposes the vetoed Senate Bill 528, while Naumann questions her abortion record but stops short of urging a vote against her. The governor’s office says the matter should stay private.
