+2, except I’m from the West.  Cradle Catholic, former liturgical minister, former CCD teacher, still volunteer with one of the sodality sponsored groups.  Went to mass  pretty much every week until the pandemic, and grew up with priests in my house pretty regularly, start each car trip with the rosary, etc.  PDC (pretty darn Catholic).  I’ve never had an abortion but for reasons that have be one become apparent in places like Florida and Texas, I don’t think the government should be in charge of healthcare decisions.  It should be between a woman, her doctor, and her  God.  I wouldn’t want some other religion telling me I can’t get a blood transfusion.  What I do think is essential to Catholicism, as I learned it, is to treat others with kindness, charity and love.  Nothing about Trump or his policies does this.  [b]It’s dismaying to me that so many Catholics are willing to throw out the entirety of Jesus’s teachings about helping others solely in order to ban abortion.  Maybe they should focus more on creating a church that others would want to join, so that people agree with their moral stance, and less on threatening doctors licenses or liberty. [/b] [/quote]

Extremely well-said.  Is "saving" the unborn really worth electing people who will time and time again turn their backs on the vulnerable in order to strengthen their power?  And the Church is currently experiencing a mass exodus of followers that is putting many archdiocese in financial crisis.  But by all means, put all your resources into ensuring clumps of cells are incubated by unwilling women.  Hopefully those babies will eventually be forced to become members of the Church when they're older.[/quote]

Catholic Republicans don’t care about saving human lives. They are against abortion, but they don’t give a crap about gun violence. The hypocrisy is breath taking. They are happy to vote for the party that allows the slaughter of children at school. Or a concert. Or a public figure…. [/quote]
