Do nuns or the catholic church pay taxes? Oh, wait, someone else should pay. Got it!
I think that Sister Chittister is making the point that people who are opposed to abortion are being hypocritical when they decry government funded social aid to the poor. Not being willing for your taxes to go to people who desperately need help isn't exactly being 'pro-life'.
