[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speculation that Amy Coney Barrett will be trumps pick. Antiabortion and very Catholic.[/quote]
What’s with the GOP obsession with Catholics on the court? [/quote]

Pro-life stuff? [/quote]

Catholic Church’s obsession with sex and with controlling women’s bodies.[/quote]

Not fair.  MANY MANY of us are just as D as you.  This is R v. D, not Catholic v. something else.[/quote]

+1. My whole family is Catholic and they're all Democrats. And my FIL is on the parish council at his Catholic church and he's also a hardcore Democrat. Catholics and Eastern Orthodox tend to vote D. [/quote]

NP.  Curious - how do you reconcile being pro-choice with being Catholic?[/quote]

PP. I'm not Catholic anymore (converted to Eastern Orthodoxy) and I do consider myself pro-life. I vote Democrat because at this point I disagree with almost everything else the Republicans stand for. Especially after the last four years. And I think that as a PP said, a better social safety net, maternity leave, etc will do more to help women and decrease abortions than reversing Roe v Wade.

For what it's worth, one man I know who is in his late 70s is a hardcore Trump supporter but he's always been pro-choice because he remembers what it was like before 1973 and doesn't want to go back to that. [/quote]

PP here.  Thanks for taking the time to explain your thoughts.  I’m exactly the opposite - a pro-choice Trump voter.  I used to vote strictly Democrat because I was so worried about Roe v Wade, but then realized I couldn’t just be a one-issue voter.  And that’s pretty much all I agree with the Dems about these days.  So I am now a moderate conservative.  [/quote]
