Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, every state-level campaign to limit abortion has failed. But that hasn’t stopped Catholic organizations from stepping into the fight again this election year.
Catholic organizations are bankrolling campaigns against abortion-rights measures, spending more than $1.9 million so far in five of the 10 states where such measures are on the ballot, according to a joint investigation by National Catholic Reporter and Mother Jones.
In Florida alone, dioceses and bishops have spent more than $1.1 million, and church entities in South Dakota have recently ramped up spending as the election nears. In other states, the church’s hierarchy may be sitting out financially, but wealthy individuals with well-established associations with the Catholic Church, or church-affiliated groups—like local parishes and Knights of Columbus chapters—have stepped into the fray.
The fight in Florida over Amendment 4—a ballot initiative to add the right to an abortion in the state constitution—has become a political lightning rod, so it may not be surprising that the high-profile battle has attracted heavyweight donors from across […]
It was six Catholics on the Supreme Court who voted to make abortion illegal—-for religious reasons, not CONSTITUTIONAL reasons! Their charge is to protect laws as being constitutional and they broke their vow to judge issues that way! They should all be impeached to set the standard for the future (and what had traditionally been in the past) to keep SCOTUS on the only track it belongs—-one of Constitutionality!!!! Shame on them! And let’s be real, most Catholics practice birth control and many have had abortions, so this ruling was so out of line. And that’s not the only thing these 6 are doing—-how about giving Trump almost total immunity from his actions! Shame on them! A pox on their houses!
I am in agreement with you… While living in Rome, all that speak to.. was very obvious… That said, there have been a few in the church over the centuries who deeply represented love and caring. Who lived as love.
