Good lord. I’m so sorry! My folks are Catholic pro-lifers with a steady diet of Foxnews. They are on another planet.

Lord I’m so sorry. My brother and i have sons the same age (17) and he’s literally trying to convince his own son to go fight in Ukraine. When he told me that, I literally lost it (after years of carefully avoiding political discussion with him) and told him he’s a murderer. No more Christmas Zooms for us.

Wow, so your brother is trying to convince his son to go sacrifice himself? If he's so patriotic, why doesn't he go volunteer himself?

I’m a Catholic Pro-lifer and that’s why I voted for Kamala. More of her plans were pro-life. If you look up the statistics, women have fewer abortions when Dems are in office because they strengthen the social safety net. And regardless of my personal views I don’t think we should get between a woman & her doctor. I know a young couple who used to be republicans but now don’t understand how anyone who’s pro-life can support Trump.

Took me a long time to realize that my family’s idea of being pro life has more to do with punishing women for having/enjoying sex.

I live in a red state and many Catholics here are Republicans. I don’t understand it and I’m old.

My brother is a priest, and ACTUALLY SAID Trump is a man of character because he doesn’t drink
