San Francisco, Calif., Jan 21, 2021 / 13:20 pm
The Archbishop of San Francisco on Thursday responded to the Speaker of the House accusing pro-life Trump voters of being sellouts.
In a Jan. 18 podcast with former senator and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that support of pro-life voters for former President Donald Trump was an issue that "gives me great grief as a Catholic."
"I think that Donald Trump is president because of the issue of a woman's right to choose," she said of abortion, implying that pro-life voters boosted Trump to victory in 2016. She added that these voters "were willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue."
On Thursday, Pelosi's archbishop responded to her comments on abortion and voting.
