    I've been shouting this for a while. He literally believes he will burn in fire for eternity if he defends abortion. Growing up Catholic, I can tell you that the fear of eternal damnation is a powerful motivator. It's not like protestant hell - you can't just mutter "but I accept Christ" on your deathbed and get the fast pass to heaven. There are all sorts of legalistic hoops to jump through and not even most Catholics make the cut. Best case, Biden is already looking at a lot of hard time in purgatory.

    I've met Catholics who are pro-choice, but I've never met a Catholic at that "oh shit I'm going to die" age who was pro-choice. Gotta leave the world in good graces with the lord and all that.

      Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.

      Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

      Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ "

      Book of Matthew 7:15-23

      If you believe that life and spirit begins at conception, that abortion is murder, and the bible cannot condone it in any practice, you could not profess yourself a Good Catholic (tm) while having the power to end it.
