Kudos for Pro-Abortion Politician

The Catholic News Service, a division of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has published a Labor Day paean to US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, a native Californian, presenting her as a paragon of Catholics in political life – but ignoring her record of support for abortion dating back nearly 20 years.

CNS was either unaware or did not care about Solis’ anti-life voting record. Here is how the CNS article presented her:

The office of Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis includes images of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a glass crucifix and a sculpture of Mary and Jesus. Her Catholic faith, she said, “is a part of my life. My faith is what motivates me.”

Nowhere does the CNS article mention Solis’ support for abortion – including partial-birth abortion, or her record of supporting embryonic stem cell research and favoring U.S. funding for ‘family planning’ services abroad.
