What did Harrison Butker say? 

Harrison Butker on Friday, August 23, wrote, "Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights."

He appealed to his ‘fellow Catholic’ Trump’s running mate JD Vance over X, “No party or candidate is perfect. I implore my fellow Catholic JD Vance 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.” 

He also quoted Father Chad Ripperger saying, “However, with that said: “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.”

Moreover, he also wore a gold pin representing the size of a 10-week-old baby’s feet, according to Fox News

Netizens share their thoughts on Butker's take on abortion rights

Most of the users on internet were critical of Harrison Butker's stand on women and their reproductive rights. A user reminded the footballer that human rights supersedes religious belives. 

One user commented on Butker's post, "Sorry bud, the constitution comes before your Bible."

"Trump made sure it was a state issue. That is a HUGE WIN! This post doesn’t bother me at all. Am I wrong?" another opined. 

"Sir, I think you should protest by missing all of your field goals when you play the Eagles. Thank you and solidarity," a person trolled. 

"Abortion is in the states. Like Trump said you have to win your make change," another chimed. 

"The term “reproductive rights” doesn’t exclusively refer to abortion. It also includes fertility treatments and contraception etc," expressed one.
