Harrison Butker has again spoken out about his religious beliefs as it relates to women’s reproductive rights.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker on Friday wrote on X that he “implore[s]” former President Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, to defend the unborn.
Butker made the post in apparent disagreement with the former president, who said in a Truth Social post that his “Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”

Butker began his post, in which he shared a screenshot of Trump’s words, saying, “No party or candidate is perfect.”
He then addressed his message to Vance.
“I implore my fellow Catholic @JDVance to help bring the Republican Party back in line with the foundational platform that all life is valuable and there can be no compromise when it comes to defending the unborn,” Butker wrote.
He then shared a quote from Father Chad Ripperger, which appeared to show that he doesn’t necessarily agree with all of Trump’s beliefs.

The quote reads, “Our obligation is to vote for the lesser of two evils because voting for a lesser evil preserves the good that could be potentially lost.”
