People on social media shredded Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for an off-key attempt at a religious joke she posted on Twitter Wednesday.
The abortion rights-supporting group Catholics for Choice took issue with the far-right Greene saying in an interview that βNo one in here believes in Godβ after she yelled at Democratic House members on the Capitol steps last week for passing legislation that would guarantee the right to an abortion.
Catholics for Choice replied on Twitter that Greene was βwrongβ and that many Catholics in Congress βsupport #abortion rights not in spite of their faith, but *because* of it.β
Greene tried to slap back at Catholics for Choice β emphasis on tried.
Catholics for Choice?

Do you guys meet in the same building as the Atheists for Jesus? https://t.co/SVPaomyFqn
People on Twitter unloaded.
Are you the gate keeper for how people practice their religion? Sounds like communism to me π€·βοΈ

You fawn over a serial adulterer. Pretty sure that was against the commandments too, when I was a church goer.

I'm Catholic and went to Catholic high school in the 80's. Their scare tactics of abortion movies didn't change my belief that choice is up to the women. So stop..Catholics believe in choice. Period. Your religious views aren't mine. Nor does a govt run by old white men get a say

Church and government are not to be mixed. Else, we regress.
