“Today I am showing you a child who was killed by abortion,” Pavone said. “Today I am showing him to you because in this election we have to decide if we will allow this child killing to continue in America or not.”
Pavone, the national director of Priests for Life, intended for this gruesome scene – and improper use of a Catholic altar – to shock viewers into voting for Donald J. Trump. “Hillary Clinton and the Democratic platform says yes, let the child-killing continue (and you pay for it); Donald Trump and the Republican platform says no, the child should be protected.”
