- This bill is catastrophic
for Catholic social teaching,
and particularly for the people
that we're called to serve.
It will do incredible damage.
14 million people who had insurance
will lose it in the first year.
Over the life of the bill,
it'll be over 20 million
that will lose it.
And in the first year we will give over
$15 billion in tax breaks
to people who make over $1 million.
That is antithetical to
Catholic social teaching.
It's a pro-life disaster in the fact that
when you take healthcare away
from people, you take life.
We had in the United States
of America every year
18,000 unnecessary deaths
because people could
not access healthcare.
That is so anti-life.
We know that so many times women feel like
they have no option but abortion,
because they can't afford maternity care.
And even if they could get maternity care,
they can't afford to care
for the child afterwards.
If we want to really strengthen
the pro-life culture in this country
you make sure people know that their lives
and the lives of their child
are so valued by our country
that we give them quality maternity care.
We give them quality pediatric care.
That's really, for me, an
indictment of this whole bill.
