Just a reminder for when a politician is called pro life: Pro life means reverencing the unborn child and the inmate on death row equally. #Catholic teaching is that both lives are sacred gifts from God.

Here is @Pontifex on that topic, in 2018:
"Our defense of the innocent unborn, for example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate, for at stake is the dignity of a human life, which is always sacred and demands love for each person, regardless of his or her stage of development...."
"Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery, and every form of rejection."
"Gaudete et Exsultate."
