Leave it to a California Democrat to suggest punishing a place of worship for refusing to fall in line. Even when it directly violates their Christian faith. Rep. Jeff Huffman pushed to revoke all church’s tax-exemption status because the Catholic church has taken issue with continuing to offer Joe Biden holy communion following his latest pro-abortion policies.
How dare they offend Supreme Leader Biden in order to uphold the backbone of their faith? We are seriously moving in a way that is starting to look like the North Korean regime or communist China. This ‘comply or die’ way of thinking is exactly how those nations ended up under harsh, poverty-stricken rulers and it makes me sick to my stomach to see that type of rhetoric coming from American politicians.
“If they’re going to politically weaponize religion by ‘rebuking’ Democrats who support women’s reproductive choice, then a ‘rebuke’ of their tax-exempt status may be in order,” Huffman tweeted.

Biden, early in the 2020 presidential election cycle, reversed his stance on the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds to subsidize abortions except for cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is endangered by a fetus. At the time, he said he “can no longer support an amendment that makes” a woman’s right to an abortion “dependent on someone’s ZIP code.”
“I make no apologies for my last position and I make no apologies for what I’m about to say,” Biden said in 2019, defending his change of heart. “I can’t justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right.”
A report made on Fox News read that some Bishops who spoke out against the liberal backlash say that Biden forced their hand. The church doesn’t want to be politically involved but Democrats are accusing them of ‘picking sides’.
I don’t know a church in history that openly supports non-medically necessary abortion, do you? Let me know in the comments below.
If one such Christian church does exist, I say Biden should start going there instead of continually trying to force his will on Americans.
