Archbishop Jose Gomez, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, told Congress and President Biden that they shouldn’t force pro-life Americans to oppose COVID relief. “We urge President Biden and the leadership on Capitol Hill not to force upon Americans the wrenching moral decision whether to preserve the lives and health of the born or unborn, all of whom are our vulnerable neighbors in need,” Gomez said. He noted that for 45 years Congress “has maintained that taxpayers should not be forced against their conscience to pay for abortions.”
