From a Cal Catholic reader:
“In the past decade, the Sobratos have given nearly $30 million to the Diocese of San Jose and Santa Clara University while promoting abortion.
From the Sobrato Foundation website:
Reproductive Rights & Justice
Andie and John support advocacy, narrative change, and direct health services to advance reproductive justice so that women have access to health care and the rights they deserve. Andie entered reproductive work after experiencing an all-girls education that sparked a passion for advancing women’s rights. For the past 5 years, she has continued to meet with subject matter experts in the field, other philanthropists, and those most in-need to sharpen the strategy.
Today, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban and 14 states have almost complete bans with limited or no exceptions. These draconian laws are causing OBGYNs to flee states, women to endure extreme hardship to access basic health care — and most critically, these policies are killing women unnecessarily. Maternal mortality rates are skyrocketing in states that have enacted such policies and some activists are pushing for bans on women’s healthcare at the federal level. These challenges will have a ripple effect for years to come and they believe in taking action to contribute to reversing this tremendous injustice.
We feel strongly about our duty to advocate for birthing people across the country, as well as helping providers keep their doors open. A generation of young Americans should not have to endure an era with fewer rights than their parents had.
Fake Catholics but they fit in with the fake Catholicism practiced in much of the Diocese of San Jose.
Do they have children of their own? Why are they posing with their dogs as if their dogs are their children? They look young enough to have a family of young children at home. But they chose dogs instead?
Wonder if their 30 million will buy their way out of Hell?
Don’t think so.
But they will have eternity to think up new Mission Statements.
Are they trying to buy influence with the Church?
Or God?
Neither are for sale, but most especially the latter.
Hopefully, they have no influence with the Church and the Church should not take money from those advocating violence against babies and their mothers.
Even I know that.
May God have mercy on their poor souls.
And, protect babies and their mothers from what their money can do.
As Pope Francis said, abortion is like hiring a hit man. The Sobratos are hiring hit men targeting babies.
The only time God will accept their money is if they repent and use it to try to undo all the evil they have done with it. They had better start soon. They are not that young.
I am sure that they can buy a nice funeral canonization.
This is a sad, even tragic, and scandalous turn for the Sobrato family. Over many years, they did much good for many. What happened? Pray they might repent and return to the Faith. Before death, it’s never too late for any of us. Lord, have mercy on the Sobratos and on all of us.
I wonder if this poor, lost couple is dealing with post-abortion regret themselves. There is hope and healing. Maybe they should come to the vineyard.

Neither of those two did anything to earn their wealth. They are nepo and trust fund babies. The wife seems to be the granddaughter of the man — John Sobrato — who actually earned the family’s wealth through decades of real estate investments and developments starting in the 1950s. The husband married her and thus into her family’s wealth.
I bet both of them are vacuous and vapid.
I see Fur Babies. I don’t see baby babies. They can afford one kind but not the other?
A word of caution: though this couple appears to be childless, they may not have chosen that. And, though not an excuse for their evil doing, maybe not having had children makes it not so clear to them that babies are babies before they’re born. John Matthew studied political science at Santa Clara University. How did that effect his faith?
I wonder what Grandpa John Sobrato thinks about this. Pray for this family. They could do so much good.
What good is blood money? End Abortion Now! Adoption is the option.
Sobratos have also given money to pro-abortion politicians Xavier Baccera and Matt Mahan.
