Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Speaks Out Against Trump's Reproductive Rights Stance

Harrison Butker has implored Sen. JD Vance to defend the unborn, expressing disagreement with former President Trump's stance on reproductive rights.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has once again voiced his religious beliefs in relation to women's reproductive rights, this time impressing upon former President Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, the importance of defending the unborn.

On Friday, Butker shared a screenshot of a Truth Social post by Trump, who stated that his administration would be "great for women and their reproductive rights." Butker, a devout Catholic, responded by expressing apparent disagreement with the former president's stance.

"No party or candidate is perfect," Butker began his post. "I implore my fellow Catholic @JDVance to help bring the Republican Party back in line with the foundational platform that all life is valuable and there can be no compromise when it comes to defending the unborn."

Butker cited a quote from Father Chad Ripperger, which seemed to indicate that he does not necessarily agree with all of Trump's beliefs: "Our obligation is to vote for the lesser of two evils because voting for a lesser evil preserves the good that could be potentially lost."

During the Chiefs' White House visit after their Super Bowl victory last year, Butker wore a tie emblazoned with the Latin phrase "Vulnerari Praesidio," which translates to "Protect the most vulnerable." He also wore a gold pin representing the size of a 10-week-old baby's feet.

Butker has previously taken aim at President Biden's "delusional" stance on abortion, stating that unborn babies "are the greatest victims of our society."

In March, Butker told ETWN News that he believes unborn babies are at the highest risk in society. Shortly after his commencement speech at Benedictine College, his jersey sales skyrocketed, making it one of the most popular on the market.

Butker's strong stance against abortion is consistent with his Catholic faith. The Catholic Church has long held that abortion is a grave sin and that human life begins at conception.

Butker's outspokenness on this issue has drawn both praise and criticism. Some people have applauded him for his courage in speaking out about his beliefs, while others have condemned him for injecting religion into politics.

Butker is not the only athlete who has spoken out against abortion. In recent years, there has been a growing number of athletes who have used their platforms to advocate for the unborn.

These athletes believe that every life is precious and that all people, regardless of their age, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. They are using their voices to shine a light on the issue of abortion and to encourage others to reconsider their views on this important issue.
