Ngo bill catholic bodies opposition accuse sponsor promoting islam

It appears that you are referring to a controversy surrounding a bill in the United States Congress that has been accused of promoting Islam and has received opposition from some Catholic bodies.

The bill in question is the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act" (H.R. 7), which was introduced in the House of Representatives in January 2017. The bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to pay for abortions and to require health insurance plans that cover abortion services to disclose this information to consumers.

Some Catholic bodies, including the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), have expressed opposition to the bill, arguing that it does not go far enough in restricting access to abortion services. The USCCB has also accused the bill's sponsor, Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), of promoting Islam by including language in the bill that would allow for the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services in cases where the mother's life is at risk, including in cases where the mother is a victim of rape or incest.

The USCCB has argued that this language is inconsistent with Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life and that it would allow for the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services in cases where the mother's life is not at risk. The USCCB has also accused Representative Smith of promoting Islam by including language in the bill that would allow for the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services in cases where the mother is a victim of rape or incest, arguing that this language is inconsistent with Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life.

It's worth noting that the bill's sponsor, Representative Chris Smith, has denied any accusations of promoting Islam and has argued that the bill is consistent with Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life.
