Erika Bachiochi, a pro-life legal scholar who refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016, has penned an essay for the New York Times expressing gratitude that other pro-life voters did vote for him.⠀ ⠀ While she once advocated against pro-lifers casting a vote for Trump, Bachiochi softened after reflecting on the ramifications of the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court case. Thanks to the pro-life justices nominated by Trump and confirmed during his presidency, Dobbs could lead to a dramatic victory for the pro-life movement when the Court issues its ruling next year.⠀ ⠀ Bachiochi lives in a blue state (Massachusetts) where Republican presidential votes are virtually guaranteed to make no difference, she wrote. During the past two presidential elections, however, “I felt a strong sense of relief that I was free from the hard trade-offs of voters in battleground states and could just cast my vote for a write-in candidate.”⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story.

A board member of America’s largest teachers union posted a Facebook comment suggesting that it would be “quicker” and “safer” to shoot unvaccinated Republicans dead rather than allow them to put others “at risk.”⠀ ⠀ “Screw this guy and screw them all who are all about hiding behind religious exemptions because they don’t want anybody to tell them what to do,” wrote Mollie Paige Mumau in a Facebook comment shared by the Twitter account @libsoftiktok. “People tell you what to do all the time, and you do it,” Mumau continued:⠀ ⠀ “I don’t know why the GOP doesn’t just take those guns they profess to love so much and just start shooting all of their constituents who think this way,” she added. “It would be quicker and ultimately safer than putting me and my friends and family at risk.” ⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story.

Insanity, right?⠀ ⠀ If you think this isn’t exactly what the new Left wants in this country, you haven’t been paying attention.

Benjamin Herreid, a Leavenworth, WA, restaurant owner and member of the Knights of Columbus, says the town’s Chamber of Commerce told the Knights their booth would not be included in this year’s public festivities. The exclusion of the Knights was itself disturbing, but the Chamber of Commerce had something much worse in store, Herreid reports.⠀ ⠀ “Our booth has been a feature of the Christmas lighting for the past 30+ years,” Herreid wrote in a Facebook post. After the Chamber inexplicably turned the Knights away, Herreid and his business partner “made space on our restaurant’s patio for the K of C sausage booth,” whose proceeds go toward the mentally and physically handicapped, as well as the “spiritually handicapped (all of us),” he wrote.⠀ ⠀ Herreid said that while the exclusion of the Knights could have been “unintentional,” it “seems to illustrate the priorities of those leading the charge in this town.” After a recent election and the introduction of COVID restrictions, officials “rebranded” the longstanding local custom of “Christmas Lighting,” axing the word “Christmas” from the title and renaming it “Village of Lights,” Herreid told CatholicVote Monday.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story.

It was a terrible idea to begin with. 👎

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Dec. 1 in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The question before the Court is whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional. The case gives the Supreme Court the opportunity to reconsider the abortion precedents established in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which have prevented states from passing laws to protect unborn babies before viability.⠀ ⠀ CatholicVote has been keeping a close eye on how pro-life Members of Congress respond, understanding that if our side is silent the pro-abortion media (though we repeat ourselves) will define the issue.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio to read more!
