White House press secretary Jen Psaki snapped at a reporter Thursday after he asked how President Biden can consider himself a Catholic while also supporting abortion.
Owen Jensen, a reporter with EWTN, a Catholic news network, asked Psaki during her daily press briefing why the president supports abortion"when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong."Jensen pressed,"Who does he believe then should look out for the unborn child?"
Psaki reiterated that the president believes abortion is a woman’s right and then reminded Jensen of his biological makeup. "He believes it is up to a woman to make those decisions and up to a woman to make those with her doctor," she said."I know you’ve never faced those choices, nor you have never been pregnant, but for women out there who have faced those choices this is an incredibly difficult thing and the president believes their rights should be respected."
Jensen tried to ask another question but Psaki dismissed him, saying,"I think we have to move on. You’ve had plenty of time today."
