Congress mainly exists just to piss me off. At least The Hill properly refers to them as ‘anti-abortion rights.’ Regardless, I recall reading about JFK giving a speech in Houston where he assured us that Catholic politicians wouldn’t do shit like this:
The abortion compromise was turning into a contest of wills, with the U.S. Conference of Bishops on one side and Pelosi, a devout Catholic and a supporter of abortion rights, on the other.
[Rep. Brad] Ellsworth said at least three Democratic abortion-rights opponents have agreed to support his language, but many others won’t because the bishops don’t support it.
“Other members felt like they needed the … blessing of the Catholic bishops,” Ellsworth said.
I’m tired of putting up with this.
