Abortion is my No. 1 issue
As the media has over-reported, Donald Trump’s words have been overtly offensive at times. Sometimes, I cannot defend his rhetoric, but I will vote for him. Why? Hillary Clinton is a much worse choice for us one-issue voters.
I, like all Catholics and other pro-lifers, must vote for the candidate who defends innocent children from violent murder in their mother’s womb.
The pro-choice candidates aren’t truly pro-women if they don’t fight for pregnant women to have some true choices. What if they fought for legislation that would allow a young woman to have an ultrasound before making the most important choice of their life? Most young women wouldn’t decide to have their baby brutally murdered in their womb if they knew that their baby already had a beating heart and was wanted by others who could raise her child for her.
In spite of the wretchedness of our presidential candidates and our own wretchedness, we can and must fight the good fight for the innocents. Trump must triumph for their sake.
