The American Life League is urging all United States bishops to publicly challenge and rebuke politicians who claim to be Catholic but who support abortion.
American Life League president Judie Brown put out the call in light of yesterday’s 20th anniversary luncheon for Emily’s List, a organization founded in 1985, dedicated to having pro-choice women elected into office.
The five pro-abortion public officials who highlighted yesterday’s luncheon include: U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Ct.), Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.) and State Sen. Joan FitzGerald (D-Colo.)
"These women, who claim to be Catholic, all adamantly defy the Church,” said Brown. “It would be my hope that each of their bishops contacts them as soon as possible to remind them it is impossible to be Catholic and pro-abortion.
