Archbishop Slams Pelosi For Supporting Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Pelosi, who is a longtime supporter of abortion, said making taxpayer-funded abortion legal has been a longtime "priority" for Democrats.
44% : "Billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortion" without these protections, they insisted.
42% : The Hyde Amendment was first enacted in 1976, three years after the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide via Roe v. Wade.
31% : "[The Hyde Amendment] has saved nearly 2.5 million babies and mothers in difficult circumstances from the tragedy of abortion," USCCB stated.
28% : Self-professed Catholic President Joe Biden and his supporters have vowed to eliminate the Hyde Amendment and, consequently, force Americans to fund abortion, even those for whom such an action would violate their faith beliefs and moral standards, Breitbart News previously reported.
27% : San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone, who is Pelosi's local ordinary, said in response on Thursday that for Pelosi "to use the smokescreen of abortion as an issue of health and fairness to poor women is the epitome of hypocrisy."
22% : Cordileone has previously spoken out against Pelosi for her stance on abortion.
20% : In January, Cordileone said "our land is soaked with the blood of the innocent..." and that Pelosi "does not speak for the Catholic Church," after she said pro-life Americans who voted for Donald Trump over abortion were "willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue."
