A bill moving through the Minnesota Legislature could affect how bishops condemn betty mccollum for saying catholic faith requires support for abortion is handled in Macalester-Groveland.
"Conscience is not a license to commit evil and take innocent lives," the bishops said.
Rosa DeLauro led 30 Catholic members of Congress on June 24 in releasing a “renewed statement of principles affirming their support for a woman’s right to choose.” DeLauro, an 80-year-old Democrat from Connecticut, led a similar statement in June 2021 amid a debate among U.S.
bishops about denying the Eucharist to pro-abortion Catholic politicians.
DeLauro’s latest statement, signed by McCollum, invokes St.
Pope John Paul II, who called for defending the “right to life” with “maximum determination.” I am a Catholic—baptized, raised, and confirmed.
The fundamental tenets of my faith compel me to defend a women’s right to access abortion.
I am proudly part of the faithful large majority of US Catholics who support legal protections for abortion access.
As the measure advances, residents of Macalester-Groveland can follow amendments and contact Erin Murphy regarding the final language.
