14% of Oregon is Catholic ... maybe 5% are practicing Catholic ... why would she identify herself as a pro-life Catholic in a political campaign? Most who identify themselves that way are in states filled with Catholic Dems. Not Oregon.
Pro-choice candidates do it all the time, the “I’m personally pro-life but law of the land woman’s choice blah blah blah”.
It’s lame, I’d have more respect for them if they said “I think human fetuses are no different than bacteria and I passionately support population control”.
