We just released a new poll of Catholics nationwide to learn about how they’re thinking about politics, faith, healthcare and equality. The results underscore what we already knew: Catholics support access to abortion and aren’t falling for the bishop’s attacks. <1/8>
When it comes to our votes, media coverage tends to focus on anti-choice activists. But when Catholics consider abortion, by a 20 point margin they want 👏 it 👏 to 👏 be 👏 legal! 👏 <2/8>
By an even wider margin, Catholics reject efforts by clergy to withhold communion from politicians who support abortion rights. <3/8>
When it comes to issues the bishops have attempted to redefine as “religious liberty,” Catholics aren’t buying it. They don’t want religious employers to deny workers birth control coverage. <4/8>
Catholics REALLY don’t want to discriminate against LGBTQ people. 🏳️‍🌈 <5/8>
Catholics don’t want to stop gay or lesbian couples from adopting. Or to allow Catholic hospitals to refuse access to certain medical procedures. <6/8>
In short: the bishops have spent years and millions of dollars pushing Catholics to ignore their own consciences and follow an extreme, partisan agenda.
And….
It didn’t work. <7/8>
