Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life on Post-Roe World and Pelosi Communion Denial

Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life spoke with The Tennessee Star about what the landscape is going to look like in a post-Roe world and addressed the denial of communion to Speaker Nancy Pelosi because of her pro-abortion views and actions in government.

“We’re going to have to work with lawmakers, first of all, in those states that have either trigger laws or pre-existing pro-life laws that have been blocked by the courts – do whatever is necessary quickly to get those laws activated,” he said. “In some cases it’ll take some legislative action, not to the same extent as starting from scratch, but the steps that need to be taken,” Father Pavone said.

The priest stressed the need for pro-life individuals to have relationships with their lawmakers.

“People need to, not only for their state lawmakers but for their members of Congress, communicate very clearly that we want action quickly. In other words, there’s no reason to dilly-dally or be afraid. Get these laws activated and into effect,” he said.

Pavone made the point that there will be enforcement battles over pro-life legislation that is enacted.

“Secondly, there will be of course, enforcement battles. Abortion is such a political hot potato. We have seen even with laws that are enacted now under Roe, where the court has allowed a certain measure of regulation, the problem is enforcement – especially if those involved in enforcing it are either afraid of the abortion lobby or are maybe part of it themselves. That shouldn’t interfere with them doing their job, but it does when it comes to this, especially,” he said.

We’ll have to keep an eye on enforcement and really insist on enforcement,” he added. Pavone believes that Freedom of Information Act requests will be a part of that strategy…. (Excerpt from The Tennessee Star)
