As an unashamedly pro-life Christian who believes “life begins at conception,” New York Times journalist David French has announced, “I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 and—ironically enough—I’m doing it in part to try to save conservatism.” With due respect to French, with whom I’ve dialogued privately about this, I find his position both indefensible and bizarre.
For my part, I am no starry-eyed adorer of former President Donald Trump, for whom I voted twice.

In June 2022, I expressed my preference for a GOP candidate other than Trump.
And on Jan. 6, 2021, as the Capitol riot was occurring, I stated that Trump was morally responsible for the mayhem, not because he intended it to happen but because of his irresponsible rhetoric in the previous months.
In fact, Trump supporters who read my columns often know that, to their dismay and even disgust, whenever I speak well of Trump’s accomplishments, I offer a series of caveats and disclaimers.
Still, no matter how much disdain French may have for Trump and his most ardent MAGA followers, I completely reject the idea that a pro-life Christian can cast a vote for a candidate who is the most radical pro-abortion candidate in our nation’s history.
