These days, one can identify as pretty much anything and it is considered polite (mandatory, in the case of gender delusions) to play along. Thus, much has been made of Joe Biden being the second Catholic president of the United States. The first, John F. Kennedy, was a member of the clan that spearheaded the political schizophrenia of “personally opposed, politically supportive,” and Biden is breaking all records with a rash of pro-abortion and LGBT executive orders while the press praises his faith. Amy Coney Barrett was a scary religious fundamentalist; Biden is a devout wellspring of compassion. Supporting the destruction of children in the womb is what makes all the difference.
Catholics for Choice, an organization of folks who despise Catholic teaching but insist that they are the real deal (something that only gets traction because the media desperately wants it to be so), promptly released a statement urging Joe Biden to go full throttle for feticide:
We at Catholics for Choice welcome Joe Biden as the first prochoice Catholic president & call on him to protect & expand abortion rights in the first days of his presidency. President Biden frequently connects his care for the poor, the sick & the vulnerable to his Catholic faith.

Catholics for Choice still exists? Last I checked they were on the verge of shutting down. Hiring Chuck Clymer (who smugly sips her coffee at the thought of Georgians dying of COVID) to do PR for them is about the only thing they’ve been in the news for over the past year.
Also, they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel if they can’t even get someone that identifies as Catholic. Perhaps Clymer is going to convert just for this, though she’ll have a hard time persuading a bishop to give her communion…
Update: that sure didn’t last long. Clymer is no longer listed on the Catholics for Choice staff page (after having previously been listed there). Conversely, her Twitter bio no longer references Catholics for Choice. I wonder what happened?
“Catholics for Choice” — my choice for oxymoron of the week. I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads, “If Abortion is Healthcare, Capital Punishment is Rehabilitative Therapy.” I get a lot of stares for that one. But it’s true: Abortion takes an innocent human life. Every time. Capital punishment takes a life as well, but not an innocent one. And yet these same Catholics for Choice will defend their stance against capital punishment as promoting justice. Nothing like a little inconsistency.
