In August, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) sent a letter to Pope Francis urging him to discuss certain topics when he addresses Congress on September 24th. Rep DeLauro is a Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s third district and has a lengthy pro-abortion record. In fact, National Right to Life reports that she has a 0% pro-life record and has voted against pro-life legislation 108 times.
In the past, Rep. DeLauro has voted against common-sense measures that would protect women and unborn children from abortion and the abortion industry. For example, in Congress she voted against the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and legislation that would de-fund Planned Parenthood’s abortion business. Yet somehow, Rep. DeLauro says she is Catholic and believes she has the right to tell Pope Francis what he should say when he visits Congress.
Bill Donohue from the Catholic League said the following about Rep. DeLauro’s letter: “Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), a rabidly pro-abortion Catholic, has sent a letter to Pope Francis — signed by 93 of her House Democratic colleagues — urging him to focus on certain topics when he addresses Congress Sept. 24. And they are not content to have him speak in general terms about concerns like economic justice or the environment.”
