The U.S. bishops said President Biden must abandon his “single-minded extremism” on abortion. “The president is gravely wrong to continue to seek every possible avenue to facilitate abortion, instead of using his power to increase support and care to mothers in challenging situations,” said Archbishop William Lori, chair of the bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities. “As pastors who deal daily with the tragic impacts of abortion, we know that abortion is a violent act which ends the life of preborn children and wounds untold numbers of women.”
