Texas priest puts aborted fetus on altar to urge others to vote for Trump

A priest in the Diocese of Amarillo took an aborted fetus, laid it upon an altar Sunday and posted a live video to Facebook and Instagram to warn viewers about Hillary Clinton and urge them to vote for Donald Trump.

The priest, Rev. Frank Pavone, is a well-known anti-abortion activist and head of the New York-based Priests for Life. He says in the video that a pathologist entrusted him with the fetus for burial.

Accompanying Pavone's 44-minute long video he wrote this appeal on Facebook: "We have to decide if we will allow this child killing to continue in America or not. 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."

"Words are not enough in this heated election campaign," Pavone says in a shorter version of the video posted on Instagram. "America will not reject abortion unless America sees abortion. As you decide whom you are going to cast your vote for, spend a few moments looking at this child...I show him to you today to urge you to vote pro-life."

with the mother (since it was to be buried) and with the church that frowns on such incredibly tacky displays of zealotry even when it backs up the party line.

Let the lawsuits begin!

In the meantime, I suggest that pathologist explain very slowly and clearly to the good father that "spontaneous abortion" doesn't have anything to do with Planned Parenthood and everything to do with god.
