Our hapless bench of bishops will get around to it on the seventh of Never.
Good Question

Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
So who exactly has the moral high ground here? Post Vatican II bishops and Pope Bob, the Democrat from Chicago? Or a Protestant Evangelical preacher? Luke 19:40 – And He answered and said unto them, “I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”
What exactly does one need to do to get excommunicated?
ordaining women? (no) .. openly support a sodomy life-style? (no)… be a communist party that chooses its own bishops? (no).. support the mass killing of innocents even at birth? (no)…

The governor that signed the bill into the law is not Catholic.
LKL-
Fair.
How many of the legislators who voted for the bill are?
LKL: You mean she doesn’t act Catholic … She was certainly baptized Catholic and her mother is described as a devout Catholic who attends daily Mass.
… I am unaware whether her pro-abortion live-in lesbian lover is Catholic.
Takes effect the week after election day. How symbolic!
Health care for the politician but not for the mother or her baby.
God creates the immortal, rational soul who is the source of life for the newly conceived human being. When two become one (when the ovum is fertilized by the sperm) God infuses that sovereign soul for all eternity with sovereign personhood and it’s own DNA. Science knows this. Why do not the power brokers except that they enjoy being ignorant.
@ David WS: “ What exactly does one need to do to get excommunicated?”
A. Oh, criticize a bishop publicly and his Lavender Cadre. This reader got on thin ice a few years back with a now-deceased Phoenix diocese bishop and his coterie. A “nice” very explicit letter in the reader’s archive.
But then God intervened when aforementioned bishop hit-run, killed an Indian, on Phoenix streets, dragged him a ways—and fled the scene. Witnesses got a solid ID on his rather unique Buick Park Avenue. The bishop only lived a few short blocks away.
To the bishop’s shock, P JP2 immediately accepted his resignation after his conviction.
But that’s how to do it (get potentially excommunicated that is).
I said in a previous comment that most “pro-choices” actually hate babies. Now it is easier than ever to see this. Just look at the supporters of Lindsey Clancy who say that we need to be understanding that she murdered her children, because it’s tough being a woman in today’s world.
How could you even come up with this line of thought without hating children?
Of course, most people don’t get to this point on their own. They are brainwashed in one way or another. For today’s Zoomers and younger it is TikTok, which has taken over for the role that TV did in brainwashing the Boomers through the Millennials.
I’m not sure ‘hate babies’ is quite right, but you do detect in the jabber of vociferous abortion advocates a resentment of anything which distracts or thwarts the subject. You see that in the writings of Barbara Ehrenreich. If anyone doubted Ehrenreich was a pathological creature, your doubts would be expunged by the column she wrote for Time ca. 1992 defending a woman in South Carolina who had murdered her children (making this defense by blaming a scrum of people in this woman’s social circle).
