those pro-choice (or only pro-choice when it's THEIR choice) religious people continue to ALLOW themselves to be led by misogynistic homophobic assholes who try to dictate public policy in a secular society. It doesn't matter if they are pro-choice if they continue to support the leaders of their church who are the public voice and face of it.

I get the subthreads that in here that not all Catholics are 'in the pews'. However, the OP specifically stated that is who they are 'calling out'. The ones who still align with these assholes and support them financially and with their presence.
