Social activist Sister Simone Campbell has praised President Joe Biden’s “very developed approach” to abortion, where he can be personally opposed but publicly favorable to the practice. Sister Campbell, executive director of the Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, said at a January 21 panel discussion hosted by the National Catholic Reporter that the pro-life “obsession” with the abortion issue has torn the Church apart. “One last piece is on this issue, this blessed issue, that has broken our Church apart, this political obsession with the criminalization of abortion on the part of a few,” she said. Sister Campbell, a member of “Catholics for Biden,” expressed her wish that someone — maybe the National Catholic Reporter — will interview Biden about his true thoughts on abortion. “He has a very — I know from a conversation with him — he has a very developed approach to it,” she said. “And for him, it hinges on religious liberty, and that he will not force his religious belief on the whole nation.
