This took place during a speech by the Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried, who criticized a proposed law in Florida to limit abortion to six weeks of gestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Observers, including several Catholic groups, suggested President Biden&#8217;s gesture was mocking and disrespectful, specifically toward the Catholic Church&#8217;s strong anti-abortion teachings. Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America and CatholicVote President Brian Burch both expressed displeasure over Biden&#8217;s action, which they described as trivializing the sanctity of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden made the Sign of the Cross at an ABORTION rally. <br><br>This is a complete mockery of God. <br><br>EVERY Catholic should be calling this EVIL out. <br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p2qJpDyfDk\">pic.twitter.com\/p2qJpDyfDk<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kristan Hawkins (@KristanHawkins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KristanHawkins\/status\/1783150485731696900?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident follows a recent Pew Research poll revealing most Americans are unconvinced by Biden&#8217;s claims of being a devout Catholic.
