Psaki Rebukes EWTN Reporter Who Asked Why Catholic Biden Opposes Texas Abortion Law
Catholic News Agency ^ | 9/2/21 | Katie Yoder

Posted on 09/04/2021 7:13:29 PM PDT by marshmallow

President Joe Biden, the second Catholic president in U.S. history, believes that abortion is a “woman’s right,” White House Press Secrentary Jen Psaki said on Thursday. Her comments came in response to a question about Texas’ newly-enacted abortion ban asked by EWTN News Nightly White House Correspondent Owen Jensen.

“I know you've never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant,” Psaki told Jensen, “but for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing.”

Beginning Sept. 1, the “Texas Heartbeat Act” bans abortions statewide after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The law also enables citizens to enforce the ban through private lawsuits.

When the Supreme Court rejected an emergency request to block the law in a 5–4 decision, Biden declared a “whole-of-government” response to “ensure” abortion access in the state.

On Sept. 2, Jensen asked Psaki about Biden’s position at a White House press conference.

"Why does the president support abortion when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong?” he wanted to know.

The answer is because Bidet thinks that Karl Marx was a pope in the 19 century and Gobbles and Hitler were Catholic Bishops

She needs to tell her boss Slow Joe to sit down and shut up then. Since he never faced that choice either, he has utterly no business talking about the Texas law.

Exactly. How would she know, since the rat bastards think men can get pregnant? What idiots.

The question is why is it ok to kill a baby with a heart beat

The DNC stand up for murders, perversions, riots, looting and so many other things.

Why is what the DNC really serves ever in question?

The critical follow up question is whether Biden believes abortion is permissible at birth, or even after.

The discussion has gone way beyond heartbeat. Now the left is debating whether a born-alive baby should be allowed to live if abortion had been intended. It is easy for atheists to promote abortion up to their own age, whatever it is, because they cannot suffer it. Abortion happens to someone else, not themselves because they are already alive and adult, or at least old enough to have an opinion on it. They are also fanatically against the death penalty because they, not having any understanding of right and wrong, feel they could be in the position of being sentenced to death for something. It is entirely selfish at both levels.

Totalitarians believe it is okay to kill anyone who is inconvenient to the state.

Well, they would like to reduce the world’s population to 500 million. They would do it, if they could.

I must submit to you that, in my opinion Mr. Biden and Ms. Psaki have less value than a septic tank truck.

When the worm turns on Psaki she has nothing to turn to.
