1. I've noticed that the House and Senate nibble at abortion rights, but, when was the last time they debated banning it? Plus Roe is a state power case. The constitutionality is different for a state legislative power than for Congress. It would be easier for SCOTUS to
2 uphold a Congressional ban than for state bans. But they don't try that. Instead they dwell in the deep red states and safely pass these laws that are not likely to even survive Roberts' 5-4 majority. But they do one thing for sure. They hold that 37% of voters solid for Trump.
3. The right to life vote doesn't care how evil Trump his so long as he delivers the great abortion jihad and adhere to @GOP belief that the unborn are more worthy than the born. Of that unholy alliance, the Catholics are one variable that @TheDemocrats can change.
4. I'm a lousy Catholic but I know what it means to be one. And no Catholic can be a Trump supporter without giving up any hope of avoiding eternal damnation. The abortion jihad won't save them. They're all going to hell so I'm sure I'll see them there.
5. Barack dramatically lessened the number of abortions. If @Pontifex was serious about it he would end the absurd position on birth control. If you think abortions are evil, then prevent them. But don't think for a moment making them illegal will stop them. Because it won't.
6. History proves that is false. We should not be fooled into thinking that the people so adamantly opposed to abortion will sullenly adopt another view. As they should not expect a sudden change from us. We all need to find common ground or these rifts can consume us.
7. @TheDemocrats need to give Catholics a way to leave hate. Promise to respect their deeply held view in exchange for their working to end the need for abortions. It will take time but Catholic enlistment in the Trump army of hate must end. Catholic vote in the south is small
8. but I think it carried @DougJones over the line. Maybe I'm unrealistic that we can find common ground in two positions so far apart. But on Trump's racism & hatred against refugees, there can be no doubt that to enable him is mortally sinful. @CatholicHerald @CatholicBishops
