41% : McElroy told RNS that the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will challenge bishops to advocate for legislation limiting abortion in dozens of states and speak out against measures such as an upcoming referendum in California to codify the right to an abortion.
26% : What it doesn't mean is focusing disproportionately on condemning abortion and same-sex marriage, as bishops have elsewhere.
19% : In 2015, McElroy expressed frustration with the USCCB's statement on political responsibility, lamenting that abortion and euthanasia consistently take precedence over concerns such as poverty and climate change.
