A Catholic priest slammed the March for Life in a series of tweets over the weekend, despite the Catholic Church’s strong and constant support of the peaceful pro-life rally and the unborn.

Franciscan friar Father Daniel Horan, who teaches at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, called the pro-life event “repulsive and futile” because so many Republicans are involved, according to Breitbart.

Horan claimed the March for Life is just a Republican rally with a “parade of GOP political-speakers and racist high-school students in MAGA hats taunting Native Americans.”

His statement ignores that the March featured several pro-life Democrat lawmakers as speakers this year: U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, of Illinois, and Louisiana state Rep. Katrina Jackson. It also does not acknowledge new evidence that contradicts the heavily edited video of the MAGA students.

The annual march has become increasingly diverse, with left-leaning and secular pro-life groups participating annually. Religious and racial identities vary as well at the march, but Horan insisted that very few “true pro-lifers” participate.

“It’s basically a gathering for many right-wing anti-abortion hardliners (not consistent ethic of life, i.e. true pro-lifers) and teens to get a free trip to goof off (at best) in DC,” Horan wrote.

Just one of many reasons I find the so-called “march for life” often repulsive and futile: It’s basically a gathering for many right-wing anti-abortion hardliners (not consistent ethic of life, i.e. true pro-lifers) and teens to get a free trip to goof off (at best) in DC. 2/2 — Daniel P.
