A group of 60 Catholic clergy, theologians, and social justice leaders are calling on pro-life members of Congress such as Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to focus on gun violence prevention as part of their moral commitment to sanctity of human life.
Noting that thousands of Catholics will gather in Washington, DC this week for the National March for Life, an annual anti-abortion protest that commemorates the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the group of religious leaders is encouraging leaders in Congress to show greater moral leadership and political courage in confronting the dangers posed by Americans current access to military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.....
Unlike assault rifles, abortion services are already heavily regulated by state-level restrictions. In fact, in several states across the country, its easier to get a gun than it is to get an abortion.
