with American flags flying off both sides and trump stickers galore on the back window. One of them said 'Vets for Trump'. Really? I find that hard to believe. After the suckers and losers comments? Are there any veterans who could still support him? Is this just mobile propaganda to convince vets that they should support him? I dunno.

Why? He's Catholic. Abortion.

(1,095 posts)I remember seeing a movie as a teenager - The Cardinal. Anybody remember that? It shook me to the core. It confirmed something for me that I already suspected - that women had no real value in Catholicism. We were vessels.
I do not reject God, but I do reject the man-made institution of the church. It is faulty to the core. And I do not respect people who think they have an absolute right to make decisions over other people's bodies. They don't!

(9,594 posts)And I have seen the movie The Cardinal, although it was some years ago.
I could have written your second paragraph. I am in total agreement.
Quite a few years ago I was engaged to someone who is Catholic. One day we were having a discussion about how we would deal with disagreements once we were married.
(At the time, we were in the process of remodeling the house we were going to live in once we were married. Quite a stressful situation all by itself. Talk about finding issues in which to disagree!)
Anyway, I asked him what would we do if we couldn't agree on any one specific issue. His reply?
"We will do what I say because I'm the man."
That was the exact moment I knew I would never marry him.
