As a faithful Catholic, I have also been active in the pro-life movement both locally and nationally. I do not trust Donald Trump’s pandering on pro-life issues. Being around the conservative movement in Washington for the past few years, I should not have been surprised to see so many conservatives and pro-lifers in the capital who were dead set against Trump in the primaries roll over for him as soon as he became the presumptive nominee. It is about nothing but being team players for access, power, and fundraising purposes.

I do not have a “team” politically anymore and nobody on the other side of any political issue should be considered “the enemy.” I am sure there are well-intentioned people voting for both Trump and Clinton.

I am not voting for Donald Trump, but I also will not vote for Hillary Clinton. At this point there is a very slim chance that I could vote for Gary Johnson. However, I will likely write in someone since Maryland’s ballot access laws are so poor that we have only Johnson and Jill Stein as alternatives.

My vote will not aid Clinton just because I am not voting for Trump. Maryland’s electoral votes will go to Clinton no matter how I vote.
