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.”

Harrison Butker has openly criticized Democrats' stand on abortion rights

The highest-paid football kicker visited the White House with his Super Bowl-winning team last year and wore a tie with "Vulnerari Praesidio” written in cursive, which means "Protect the most vulnerable" in Latin.

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

Butker also hit at Joe Biden’s ‘delusional’ take on abortion during his controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College in May. 

The 29-year-old, in an interview in March, said that unborn babies "are the greatest victims of our society."
