On Monday, the current Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, were White House guests. Harrison Butker, the Chiefs’ star kicker who converted the game-winning field goal in February’s Super Bowl, brought his pro-life activism and faith to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
Butker, a devoted Catholic, wore a tie that was specially created for him and included the Latin phrase “Vulnerari Praesidio,” which means “Protect the Most Vulnerable,” in it. Additionally, he sported a lapel badge that showed the size of small baby feet at barely ten weeks’ gestation. Live Action, a charity started by well-known pro-life activist Lila Rose, produced the pro-life accessory.

LIVE ACTION Tuesday, And Butker issued a joint statement.
The 2018 Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were invited to the White House by Vice President Joe Biden. Biden, a baptized and professing Catholic, has been outspoken about his support for abortion, and the Biden Administration has been the most pro-abortion administration in the annals of our nation.
Harrison Butker, who kicked the game-winning field goal, partnered with LIVE ACTION to create a custom tie that he donned with his suit during his visit to the White House to bring attention to the forgotten members of our society. With the Latin phrase “protect the most vulnerable” and a baby feet lapel pin, Butker sent a potent message to the world.
“I want to give the most vulnerable, the unborn, a voice at a place where every effort has been made to allow and normalize the tragic termination of their lives,” said Butker the day after the White House visit.
Butker continued stating, “As a father who has experienced three miscarriages, my wife and I understand the hardships that come with losing a child. Every life is precious and should be valued whether outside or inside the womb.”
The two-time Super Bowl champion has never spoken at the White House, but his religious advocacy is not new. When the score was tied at 35-35 in February, Butker secured the Vince Lombardi trophy and the Kansas City Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in three years. Many social media users noticed that Butker was donning a scapular, a religious accessory, during the game-winning kick.

“I wouldn’t have been able to get through this season if it wasn’t for my faith in God and to be able to trust in Him and know that He’s got a plan. And, you know I’m just thankful that His plan was for that ball to go through and for us to win the game.” CONTINUE READING…
