Kamala Harris and company are all on board with radical, anti-life policies that could destabilize swing voters who might describe themselves as “moderately pro-choice,” but barely pro-abortion.

The amorphous terminology built around the concept of personal autonomy means different things to different ears. In conversations with family, friends, colleagues and neighbors saturated with media reports intended to obscure the brutality of the abortion industry, practicing Catholics are perpetually disadvantaged.

The result is that when issues involving God-given innocent human life are framed precisely and in sufficient detail, more Americans are willing to step in and restrict unsavory procedures. This is one of the main takeaways from recent survey on the politics of abortion.

Although it is fair to say that pro-life movement After fumbling somewhat with state-level ballot measures and legislation that override public opinion, the opposing side has offered practicing Catholics a potential gift in the form of Team Harris.

There is an argument to be made that the Democratic Party’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential election is the most anti-Catholic in American history. But this argument needs to be made consistently and vehemently to bendy Catholic voters who aren’t really in love with Donald Trump.

Fortunately, Catholic voters who may not like Trump personally can recognize that it is not just the sanctity of human life that is at stake, but also broader issues of religious freedom.

If Vice President Harris is elected president and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is elected vice president, Catholics will experience an attack on their faith, their families and their constitutional freedoms like never before.

Additionally, the “culture of death” it was sure display at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, thanks to Planned Parenthood, will become deeply embedded in public policy if Trump does not regain the presidency.

But how can someone who has engaged in vulgar activities “locker room talk” extramarital affairs with prostitutes and foul language that religiously minded voters find unappetizing suddenly be seen as their savior? A biblical view may be in order.

Some of history’s most unlikely characters, with checkered pasts, answered God’s call to provide a greater good. Trump — who is clearly devoted to his family, his country, and the concept of American exceptionalism — stands up well to many of the people on this list.

Before Saul of Tarsus became St. Paul the Apostle, he was a Roman citizen and a member of a religious party known as the Pharisees, who persecuted Christians. Saul was clearly complicit in acts of violence, including stoning of Saint Stephen, deacon of the early Church who was the first to be martyred for his belief in Jesus Christ.

Saul was brutal. The man known as Saint Paul, born after his conversion, is considered one of the most influential apostles today due to his major contributions to the New Testament.

Catholics who vote traditionally for the democratsand remaining registered as such, could be a deciding factor in swing states if they understand the issues. Harris’ Democratic Party is several steps away from President John F. Kennedy’s Democratic Party, which championed Catholics seeking elected office.

In fact, Harris is part of the Biden-Harris administration, which has explicitly target Catholics who attempted to exercise their right to freedom of expression.

Under President Harris, the Ministry of JusticeThis could be used even more against Catholics who do not align with his administration’s views on abortion, marriage, transgender activism, and parental autonomy in education, to name just a few key issues .

Given his track record, it is also clear that a President Harris would work to exclude Catholics from government positions. Recall that during her nearly four years as a U.S. senator from California, Harris openly attacked a judicial candidate for his membership in the Knights of Columbus.

Harris made a perfect score Since Planned Parenthood during his term in the Senate. Such a score indicates that Harris would be willing to endanger human life at any stage of pregnancy.

Harris also introduced a bill in the Senate known as “Do no harm”, aimed at forcing Catholic doctors to perform abortions and transgender surgeries. If passed, the bill could bankrupt religious charities, including Catholic schools and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Harris didn’t stop there. She was also an ardent supporter of Equality Actlegislation that would impose sanctions on Catholics who challenge gender ideological initiatives.

The Catholic arguments against Harris are therefore not difficult to defend. But can Catholics be convinced by the idea that if Saul can become Paul, then maybe Trump can become president again? Recent history says yes.

In 2016, polls showed Trump trailing far behind Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. Clinton had chosen Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, as his running mate. Although Kane was ostensibly Catholic, he also had a 100% rating of Planned Parenthood which was not well received by Catholic voters when it was revealed.

Trump ended up winning the Catholic vote against Clinton. Fast forward to 2020 and capturing the Catholic vote was a tall order when the incumbent president was up against it. Joe BidenLongtime U.S. senator from Delaware, who served as Barack Obama’s vice president.

Although he has consistently promoted policies contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church to which he belongs, Biden has benefited from pleasant media coverage and measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic that have allowed him to avoid any scrutiny during the election campaign.

Despite everything, the Catholic vote in 2020 distributed approximately equally between Biden and Trump. Before Biden abandoned his re-election bid in July and backed Harris for the lead, polls showed he was far behind Trump among Catholics.

Catholics represent around 27% of the electorate. This is not an insignificant figure; if they vote as a bloc against anti-Catholic figures, they could provide a margin of victory in critical states.

If Catholic voters can be persuaded that Donald Trump does indeed stand between them and the loss of religious freedom, they could make St. Paul proud.
