The archbishop’s announcement comes as the right to abortion in the United States is threatened by the Supreme Court. Politics50 years after its historic decision to protect abortion, it seems poised to go backwards.
Shortly after the document was leaked in early May, Nancy Pelosi and Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer described the Supreme Court’s possible decision as “disgusting” in a joint statement.
They both warned: “If this information is correct, the Supreme Court is prepared to impose strong restrictions on the rights of all Americans, not just women, in fifty years.”
As requested by AFP, Nancy Pelosi’s services were not immediately available for comment.
Despite popular support, recent polls suggest that the right to abortion is the historic “Roe v. January 1973 Wade”, which defends the right of American women to terminate their pregnancies.
The Archbishop calls on all “believers of the San Francisco Congregation” to pray for all of our elected officials who promote abortion rights, especially Catholic elected officials.
