The Editor:
What utter nonsense for some American bishops to be threatening to refuse President Joe Biden the Eucharist because he supports a woman’s right to choose, which by the way, happens to be the law of the land.
These men are not pro-life.
As Pope Benedict XVI and now Pope Francis have repeatedly stated: being pro-life is so much bigger than merely being anti-a woman’s right to choose whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term. As both these popes have repeatedly stated: our actual teachings are “life with dignity from conception to natural death.”
That means any cuts to health care or lack of social assistance for the less advantaged are against our Catholic teachings. By increasing people’s access to these, Biden is actually decreasing the demand for abortion.
It is long past time these men stop using abortion to achieve their partisan ends.
