President Biden’s executive order supporting abortion access “is deeply disturbing and tragic,” and walks a “path that leads to death and destruction,” one of the top Roman Catholic pro-life voices said in a statement this weekend.
Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said Mr. Biden has decided “to promote and facilitate abortion in our country, seeking every possible avenue to deny unborn children their most basic human and civil right, the right to life.”
Mr. Biden, often described as a “devout Roman Catholic” in media reports, issued an executive order Friday directing Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to detail how the agency intends to “protect and expand access to abortion care, including medication abortion.
