MGB: The March for Life is still a poison tree, dependent on the goal of overturning Roe on jurisdictional grounds (giving it back to the states) - which is essentially an endorsement of mob rule. I am glad the seamless garment crowd is there, but they should insist on a much higher child tax credit (to living wage levels) and for the Church to start paying those levels now - and to excommunicate Catholic employers who do not.

What it takes to be pro-life period is an essential topic. Does it require a commitment to criminalizing abortion or giving control back to the states (which is a very situationalist idea) or can you reject such foolishness and still be pro-life - and if so does pro-life mean anything?
I predict some bishops will support Trump but most won't - largely for coalition politics reasons on abortion (or that is their excuse to themselves).
