text: I hear from the pulpit before every election that we must vote with one thing in mind and that is the "non-negotiable Catholic principle" that the candidate be "pro-life" and the definition of "pro-life" is understood to be "against abortion." "Non-negotiable" - that pretty much trumps anything else in the Gospel that should guide our decision.  If Hitler would have run as a republican and said he was "pro-life", we would have been instructed to vote republican.  When will we ask the "pro-life" candidate how they will protect that child and mother before and after birth?  Which party's platform does that?  If the pro-life candidate does not tell us how they will be there for that child and mother after birth, are they "pro-life" or just "pro-birth"?  Many of us Christians and Catholics are responsible for voting for Donald Trump because of the "non-negotiable Catholic principle".  Bishops, when will  hold the "pro-life" republicans accountable?
