Nearly half a million viewers have watched a pro-life activist priest use an aborted fetus to encourage followers to vote for Trump, after he recorded and posted it via Facebook Live over the weekend. In the 44-minute video, Rev. Frank Pavone places the fetus on an altar and states, "As you decide whom you are going to cast your vote for, spend a few moments looking at this child."
"Today I am showing him to you because in this election we have to decide if we will allow this child killing to continue in America or not," Pavone wrote in the caption of the recording. As he stands before the altar in his full clerical garb, he holds up a graphic visual of an abortion procedure and ensues to describe the practice as Holocaust. "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," the video's description continues to read.
Aside from partaking in Texas' Catholic ministry, Pavone is a decorated activist in the anti-abortion community. As the National Director of Priests for Life, the largest pro-life organization affiliated with the church, he has been able to bolster political support for conservative candidates running for office. According to the Washington Post, his support is vital to the Trump campaign, as it strives to close a 48% to 44% deficit to Hillary Clinton among Catholic voters.
