Harrison Butker Calls on 'Fellow Catholic' JD Vance to 'Stand Up for the Unborn'

Harrison Butker has once again spoken out about his religious beliefs as they relate to women’s reproductive rights.

The Kansas City Chiefs forward wrote on X on Friday that he is “imploring” President Trump’s former running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, to stand up for the unborn.

Butker posted the message in apparent disagreement with the former president, who said in a post on Truth Social that his “administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”

Butker began his post, in which he shared a screenshot of Trump’s remarks, by saying, “No party or candidate is perfect.”

He then addressed his message to Vance.

“I implore my fellow Catholic @JDVance to help bring the Republican Party back into line with the core platform that all life is precious and there can be no compromise when it comes to defending the unborn,” Butker wrote.

He then shared a quote from Father Chad Ripperger, which seems to show that he doesn’t necessarily agree with all of Trump’s beliefs.

The quote says: “Our obligation is to vote for the lesser evil, because voting for the lesser evil preserves the good that could potentially be lost.”

During the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs’ visit to the White House last year, Butker was seen wearing a tie that read in cursive “Vulnerari Praesidio,” a Latin term meaning “Protect the Vulnerable.”

He also wore a gold brooch representing the size of a 10-week-old baby’s feet.

Butker also took aim at President Biden’s “delusional” stance on abortion during his commencement speech at Benedictine College in May.

“(Biden) has been so explicit in his support for the killing of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people it seems like you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,” he said.

Butker said in an interview with ETWN News in march that unborn babies “are the greatest victims of our society.”

Shortly after his speech, sales of his jersey skyrocketed, becoming one of the most popular on the market.
