Through most of his life, Trump has been militantly pro-choice, and while I know people can and do change their minds, when Chris Matthews asked Trump about his evolution on abortion, it was immediately evident that Trump had not given the issue so much as five minutes of thought.  Over the next six hours, he adopted four different positions on abortion.  And since then, he's uttered scarcely a word about it.  Moreover, no-one who mocks the handicapped can ever be seen as pro-life.  This is a disqualifying defect of character.  To describe such a candidate as “pro-life” is to reduce the term to meaninglessness.

Catholic "leaders" who, qua Catholic, are supporting Trump have rationalized support for a racist, fascist know-nothing blowhard.  They ought not drag their Catholicism into that swamp.
