Contributing sentiments towards policy:
44% : San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone sent a letter on Thursday to Pelosi, a practicing Catholic, informing her that she had been warned to either "repudiate your advocacy for abortion 'rights'" or "refrain from referring to your Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion.""I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance," stated Cordileone.42% :Cordileone's letter to Pelosi comes after the leak of a draft opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, indicating that a majority of justices are primed to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
41% : In July 2021, for example, when Pelosi expressed support for expanding federal funding of abortion, the archbishop stated in an interview with the Catholic News Agency that "no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it."
39% : The prospect of overturning Roe has horrified pro-abortion politicians and brought the contentious issue of abortion back to the forefront of American politics.
27% :Cordileone has been critical of Pelosi's pro-choice advocacy in the past, having disputed the claim that a person can call themselves a "devout Catholic" while lobbying for abortion.
