The Democrats’ pledge not to allow religious liberty to serve as ‘a cover for discrimination’ could mean major curtailments on religious liberty, in matters involving sexuality and the sanctity of life.
EDITORIAL: Pro-life Democrats were abundant in the ranks of their party’s leaders not so very long ago, so it’s proper for Catholics of every political stripe to pray that this might be the case again.
The Democratic vice-presidential nominee and has a record of pro-abortion and anti-religious freedom authoritarianism, and in 2018 she openly attacked a judicial nominee over his Catholic beliefs.
The letter cites the Bible to state that “life begins at fertilization” and that “abortion takes the life of the innocent.”
According to pro-life Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski, ‘there are Democrats now who say that religious freedom, religious liberty are just code words for bigotry.’
Rep. Lipinski broke with party leadership on key pro-life votes, including his vote against the Affordable Care Act in 2010 in part because of its abortion funding.
The ‘democratic socialist’ candidate has emerged as the clear front-runner for the Democratic Party’s nomination, sparking renewed debate about his controversial campaign platform and political history.
EDITORIAL: The primary campaign has seen the Democratic Party venture even further into pro-abortion absolutism than in previous presidential election cycles.
The Catholic candidate has been willing to depart further from Church teachings on abortion, in order to advance his candidacy, but to date there is little evidence that this is yielding political dividends.
The Democratic presidential candidate has freely and frequently referenced his Christian faith on the campaign trail, but critics note that his beliefs align almost exclusively with left-wing political agendas.
