Bishops issue fact sheet on abortion teaching

Following up on last week’s controversy over comments by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on church teaching on abortion, the U.S. bishops’ conference yesterday issued a “fact sheet” on the history of that teaching. You can view the press release from the conference here and the fact sheet, called “Respect for Unborn Human Life: The Church’s Constant Teaching,” here. Especially in an election year, questions on this topic are not likely to go away.
