Pro-abortion Activists to Target Catholic Churches on Mother's Day

 

SAN ANGELO – Radical leftist organizations are calling on pro-abortion activists to protest at Roman Catholic Churches across the nation on Sunday, Mother's Day, over the leaked U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade.  

Fox News is reporting the protests follow days of organizing in front of the Supreme Court building following the leak Monday night – protests that led the Washington, D.C., police to erect a fence ostensibly to protect the building and justices within. Fox News has also learned that there has been a strong police presence at the justices' homes following the leak.

"Whether you’re a ‘Catholic for Choice’, ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe," the pro-abortion organizing group Ruth Sent Us posted on Twitter, with a video of activists appearing to disrupt a church service. "Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sun May 8."

Brian Burch, president of the Catholic advocacy organization Catholic Vote, condemned the planned protests and urged President Biden – who has faced criticism for claiming a Catholic identity while supporting abortion – to condemn what Burch called "domestic terrorist threats."

"In the wake of the shameless leak of a draft opinion of the Supreme Court, pro-abortion groups are now threatening to disrupt Catholic churches and to protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices this Sunday," Burch noted in a statement Thursday.

"President Biden must immediately and forcibly condemn these domestic terrorist threats," Burch declared. "Anti-Catholic zealots are plotting to intimidate and harass Catholics across the country, along with justices and their families. This country was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The President of the United States must stand up for both."

No word yet on whether local pro-abortion groups are planning protests at San Angelo area Catholic Churches.

Why did Yantis post this in the crime category.  If anyone should know what a crime is, it's Yantis.  Brian Burch gives a perfect example of religious zealot/right wing hypocracy. 

"President Biden must immediately and forcibly condemn these domestic terrorist threats," Burch declared. "Anti-Catholic zealots are plotting to intimidate and harass Catholics across the country, along with justices and their families. This country was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The President of the United States must stand up for both."

I guess those two freedoms only pertain to Catholics/Religious Zealots when they are protested against, or when they protest at a Planned Parenthood.  Yantis is just trying to rile up the local pro lifers.  He doesn't even know if protests are planned in San Angelo.

 

 

I have an opinion on the abortion issue. But it doesn't matter at all. All the rhetoric around abortion  is for naught. My opinion, and the arguments behind it, will never persuade a differing opinion to switch sides. The only thing that matters is the law, and that may very well be changing soon.
