A Catholic priest says the Democrats’ nearly unanimous opposition to Justice Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court in the Jan. 31 vote clearly shows that “Senate Democrats will oppose any nominee to the Supreme Court that does not receive the abortion industry’s stamp of approval.”

“Senate Democrats marched in step to the cadence call of radical abortion-on-demand groups, ignoring the concerns of the vast majority of their constituents,” noted Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, which is the world’s largest pro-life, pro-family organization.

With regard to Catholic outreach, the priest added: “If the Democrat party is sincere about reaching out to people of faith, they must stop taking money from the abortion industry, stop voting the way the abortion industry demands, and stop attacking judicial nominees that do not meet with the approval of the abortion industry lobbyists.”
