Three years ago today, the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and the pro-choice will of the American people.

Now, we’re taking the religious overreach that led to Dobbs head-on with The Overreach Monitor: A Catholics for Choice Watchdog Project.

A haunted house but it’s just:

🕷️The Catholic justices who overturned Roe
😱 Religious doctrine in the doctor’s office
😈 All the Catholic guilt forced on you
👻 Clergy who deny the Eucharist because of someone’s personal beliefs
🐍A fake clinic

Has a Catholic leader:
- Denied you a sacrament because of your values?
- Used the pulpit to sway an election?
- Pushed religious doctrine into healthcare decisions?

There’s no place for personal religious beliefs in healthcare.

Abortion bans are racist.

#TBT In 1984, Catholics for a Free Choice sponsored a full-page New York Times ad that featured the signatures of nearly 100 well-known Catholics.

This ad was considered controversial because it dared to tell the truth: Many Catholics are pro-choice.

In the fifth century, St. Brigid performed a miracle and made a pregnancy vanish.

It is not a tool to uphold the religious supremacy of a few.

Providing emergency abortion care is an act of conscience and compassion.
