Its pretty easy to figure it out, FC, if you apply your mind to it. Abortion is one issue among many. Donald Trump was pro-abortion until he realised that there were a lot of votes to be had among the Catholic stoopid, if he did a U-turn. And of course there is the fact that the Republicans have had plenty of time in office to do something about abortion but didn't. There is also the inconvenient fact that abortions actually rise in number during Republican presidencies. Critically aware Catholics could not possibly vote for Trump.

48% of Catholics were astute enough to realise this and took other important issues into account, especially issues which are core to Christ's teachings. 52% of Catholics ignored their own Pope, the gospel and principles which contribute to healthy society and voted for a horse's ass for president.

Such people justify their decision by appealing to Church teaching while completely ignoring specific teachings of Christ.
