(LifeSiteNews) — Kristan Hawkins has joined the growing list of prominent US Catholics who have expressed dismay over recent remarks made by Pope Leo XIV on abortion. 

Hawkins, who founded Students for Life of America in 2005, issued a series of X posts this week pushing back against the claim made by Leo that “someone who says I’m against abortion but says I’m in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life.”

“Let me simplify this for our Holy Father,” Hawkins began. “If you vote for allowing babies who are born alive in abortion facilities to die and vote over & over again in favor of more abortions or judges who will allow more abortions and babies to be killed…you deserve ZERO awards from a Catholic ministry.”

“FURTHER, supporting or championing the inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants is not the same sin as supporting the dismemberment of human children in the womb,” she continued. “This is the Pope being a politician and trying to keep his Cardinals and Bishops in check…not a moral leader.”
