MGB:_The prosect of parents being ripped from their children in the name of enforcing a misdomeanor immigration violation is heart breakig. Cardinal Burke confuses the moral law on abortio with the constitutional issues. Sadly, no Catholic politician has explained the difference to him. They seem to be using him as a foil out of central casting. That did not work out so well.
Trump v. Francis is a false dichotomy. I suspect that the Trump views on abortion, immigration and climate changed were tailored to his base. What he really believes or will do is not known, although it seems that his base is opposed to the views of Francis, which(is inconvenient)for the bishops, some of whom have an affinity to the Republican Party. They also really like their capitalist donors (and friends). While Clinton likes them too, she is not one of them, unlike Trump (who like his class, considers wealth a divine reward - even when you cheat to get it).
The pro-life movement’s recent concern for women is a sham. Mostly the movement is conerned with sexuality, which is evident when you propose a sufficient child tax credit (say $1000 per month per child), at which point they start talking about personal responsibility. If they want collective responsibility to stop abortion, they must must accept it for funding children. That would show a commitment to the dignity of mothers and of all women (as would ordaining them). The latter should be the next project for the Catholic laity. Trump is a small thing in comparison.
