Did I leave anything out?
Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro was blasted on social media Tuesday over a tweet explaining why her Catholic faith inspired her to "defend a women’s right to access abortion."
"I am a Catholic — baptized, raised, and confirmed," the Connecticut Democrat posted on Monday along with a link to a statement from Catholic Democrats explaining their opposition to the repeal of Roe v. Wade on the one-year anniversary of the decision.
"The fundamental tenets of my faith compel me to defend a women’s right to access abortion," she added. "I am proudly part of the faithful large majority of US Catholics who support legal protections for abortion access."
"The Catholic Church declares abortion a grave moral evil, a mortal sin, rejecting Christ in the baby killed," conservative commentator Liz Wheeler tweeted. "You can’t be a Catholic in good standing & support abortion. By supporting abortion, you are rejecting Catholicism & Christ. I encourage — & pray — you will go to confession."
