Nevada Democratic Party gubernatorial hopeful Steve Sisolak, who previously described himself as a devout Catholic, tweeted on February 22 that Las Vegas’ First Choice Pregnancy Services is a “shameful group.” Sisolak’s ire was fired up by a visit to that pro-life help center by Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, a candidate for governor on the Republican Party side.
Sisolak , the chairman of the Clark County (Las Vegas) Commission, fumed that Laxalt’s visit there made plain that his “anti-choice views are beyond the pale.”
Vote for me, Sisolak pleaded to activists, and “I would protect access to women’s healthcare and a woman’s right to choose.”
A woman’s right to choose a pro-life health center, though, would be “beyond the pale,” in Sisolak’s steely gaze.
An opinion writer at Nevada’s largest daily, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, called attention to Sisolak’s tweet in a column posted February 27 and headlined, “Sisolak, Democrats attack group for helping pregnant women.”
Writer Victor Joecks commented: “Attacking crisis-pregnancy centers makes it seem as if Democrats see pregnancy as a zero-sum political game, not as a personal decision. If a woman gets an abortion, that’s one point for the left. But if she chooses life for her child, that’s one point for those right-wing religious zealots.”
Neither Sisolak nor his campaign responded to Joecks’ request for a comment for his column, so The Wanderer gave it a try, submitting the question through Sisolak’s campaign website and asking about the conflict between his strong abortion advocacy and claims to be a devout Catholic.
Both the website and an auto-email sent to this writer’s inbox enthused, “Thank you for contacting the campaign,” promising a response “right away.”
But no one had responded as the end-of-day deadline passed on February 28.
A Review-Journal story in 2010 said: “Sisolak also is a devout Catholic who goes to Mass every day. He said his faith keeps him grounded.” Joecks told The Wanderer that a 2017 article also made the claim of the Democrat being a devout Catholic.
But, pointing to Pope Francis’ statements against abortion, Joecks wrote in his February 27 column, “If Sisolak thinks a crisis-pregnancy center is ‘shameful,’ how would he and other Nevada Democrats describe Pope Francis?”

Right Helen.
Catholic? Hardly. Commucrat? You bet, its written all over his face and moral character flaws!

That should really be one point for the MOLOCH inspired left.
He’s just one more example of a ” Catholic apostate” who is a member of the party of death, the demon Democratic party. And once elected votes always to give federal funds to the Church thus insuring the silence of our bishops no matter what they the politicians say or do .Its all about the money to todays successors to the apostles who unlike them fail to defend or speak out.
These so called’ Catholics’ will never stop…..until there is some CONSEQUENCE to their actions/beliefs!
Wonder if his bishop has put him on a sacrament diet yet?
Why is there talk of religion in politics? People’s faith are being used against them by these “bait and switch” candidates who don’t have a lick of faith in them and believe who ever dies with the most money wins. Stand up Nevada and take care of your residents. Happy Residents=Happy State

Stand up Nevada Politicians and take care of your residents and their kids futures.. Stop lining your pockets with our hard earned money and our children well being. Happy Residents=Happy State.
