For comparison Obama won Catholics 50-48 in 2012 and 54-45 in 2008.

Way to kind of uncuck yourselves to vote against a woman who hates you.

That's YUGE. The Catholic Spring movement pushed people to TRUMP.

And who wants to abort viable fetuses. Poor showing by Catholics.

I don't get how Catholics can get on board with the pro-choice left in the first place.

I mean even if you argue that these aren't practicing Catholics, 40% of those who attend a religious service at least once a week still voted for Hillary. That doesn't necessarily mean they're all Catholic, but I don't know any religious folks of any religion who can overlook abortion that casually.

Most Catholics aren't devout Catholics. Think about the northeast.

I am critical of Catholicism but I have to give it to them. They're pretty consistent on this issue unlike other Christian denominations.

Good for them. Problem is the ones who vote left are the Easter-Christmas crew.

And I am friends with one or two of them. One of them even blogs on a Catholic website and his arguments for voting for Hillary just defy logic and reason for me. Abortion is a non-starter for me. If you or your party is pro-choice, I am instantly tuning you out. What makes Hillary worse is that she is for partial birth abortion. That's practically murder and yet my friend voted for her still.
