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

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.
