Today, Wednesday, July 27, American Life League representatives will gather outside of the Dirksen Senate building in Washington, D.C., at 12 p.m. for a prayerful protest of the pro-abortion Catholic senators who sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The group will convey the strong message to these individuals that you can’t be Catholic and pro-abortion. The activists will also pray for a just confirmation hearing for Judge John Roberts in which his Catholic faith will not be held against him.
“Senate Judiciary Committee members, Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Joseph Biden (D-Del.) all claim to be Catholic, yet support the killing of preborn children through abortion,” said Joseph Starrs, director of American Life League’s Crusade for the Defense of Our Catholic Church. “It is ironic that these ‘Catholic’ senators are the very men who have already begun to, or hinted at, imposing a litmus test on Roberts because of his faith. This form of religious bigotry should not be tolerated by the American public, especially when it is spearheaded by individuals who claim to have faith in the same religious beliefs as the person they are targeting.”
“American Life League calls on all people of faith to demand that the senators provide a fair process, free of religious discrimination,” said Starrs. “Only then can we be sure that the rights of all persons will be protected - born and preborn.”
