text: To get to the heart of the matter:  abortion is the issue which galvanizes support among these hypocrites as their rallying cry and justification for electing Trump and the conservative agenda generally. 
      I have seen staff writers for the NCR opine on this subject in ways that would justify a Trump victory before the election results were in. 
     A majority (60% according to latest stats) of white Catholics voted for Trump. 
     I  stop short of saying it is a mortal sin to vote for Trump, but then I don't wish to revert to the enemy. 
     Personally I am shocked and dismayed by the gullibility, stupidity and general moral malfeasance and hypocrisy of this majority of Catholics and Evangelical right-wing Christians generally. I read the Bible and Catholic teaching differently and see a lot of card-carrying self-justifying Christians refused at the Pearly Gates. Perhaps an "examen" of conscience is in order. Self-justifying religious fraud is the issue, and ignorance is no excuse.
