Leaders of Pro-life Coalition Support Trump

The new Coalition of pro-life leaders reads like a who’s who of the pro-life movement with people like Marjorie Dannenfelser, Gary Bauer, Sam Brownback, Alveda King, Father Frank Pavone, Tony Perkins and many others who have been spearheading pro-life efforts for decades. These pro-life leaders all believe Donald Trump will govern as a pro-life president if elected in November.

The Catholic Vote on Abortion and Trump

On August 28, the Washington Post, via Aaron Blake, reported that “Trump has a problem with the Catholic Vote.”  

This raises the question: what is the Catholic vote?  Romney got two percent more than Obama did of the Catholic vote.

As a Catholic, I do not understand how any true Catholic can vote for Obama and Hillary. 

While there are numerous issues, such as Hillary’s corruption, emails, Benghazi, and others that have been discussed at length here, if we analyze the election solely on abortion, then the issue of abortion should prevent any true Catholic from voting for Hillary.  I would add that it should also prevent any Christian or Jew, because abortion is killing of an unborn child.

A Word of Two from Bishop Chaput

Presidential campaigns typically hit full stride after Labor Day in an election year.  But 2016 is a year in which two prominent Catholics – a sitting vice president, and the next vice presidential nominee of his party — both seem to publicly ignore or invent the content of their Catholic faith as they go along.  And meanwhile, both candidates for the nation’s top residence, the White House, have astonishing flaws.

This is depressing and liberating at the same time.  Depressing, because it’s proof of how polarized the nation has become.  Liberating, because for the honest voter, it’s much easier this year to ignore the routine tribal loyalty chants of both the Democratic and Republican camps.  I’ve been a registered independent for a long time and never more happily so than in this election season.  Both major candidates are – what’s the right word? soproblematic – that neither is clearly better than the other.
