CHRISTIANNEWS.COM. – Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington condemned US President Joe Biden’s statement saying he wants Americans to elect Democrats to Congress so he can pass and sign legislation to “codify Roe” which would nullify all laws pro-life across the country and would allow abortion up to birth.
“President Biden recently stated that if the Democratic Party is in control of Congress after the November 2022 election, their top priority will be pro-abortion legislation. I condemn abortion and any political tactic that codifies abortion as national policy,” Burbidge said.
“Fundamentally, abortion ends the life of a precious child and deeply hurts the child’s mother. The role of Congress is to pass laws that serve the common good, and yet this priority of the president only brings pain and death.
they deserve better
Burbidge wrote in response to Biden’s agenda: “We witness firsthand the wounds women and men sustain after taking the life of their son. It is clear that they deserve better than abortion. Through various ministries, the Diocese of Arlington stands with those who have suffered the pain of abortion.”
It added: “Any attempt to codify abortion, rather than enact policies that support unborn children and mothers, must meet peaceful, active, and strong opposition from the Catholic faithful and all people of good will.”
Although the US Supreme Court’s June Dobbs decision “was perhaps the most important pro-life victory of the last century, much work remains to be done to make abortion unthinkable and support mothers in need” Burbidge said, Life News reported.
