President-elect Trump Speaks To 60 Minutes About Abortion & So Called Gay "Marriage"

As many know, our website Catholicnetcast.com endorsed Trump for President so I want to take a second and congratulate Trump for his win and I pray that he truly will cooperate with God to make America great again!
On November 13, 2016, President-elect Trump spoke to 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahi. Two non-negotiable issues for Catholic arose. The first is the so-called "gay" marriage. Below is their exchange.
Lesley Stahl: Well, I guess the issue for them is marriage equality. Do you support marriage equality?
Donald Trump: It-- it’s irrelevant because it was already settled. It’s law. It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done.
Lesley Stahl: So even if you appoint a judge that--
Donald Trump: It’s done. It-- you have-- these cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They’ve been settled. And, I’m fine with that.
The Supreme Court can overturn its prior decision on so-called gay "marriage". In his dissent, Justice's Scalias clearly explained that the Court's majority made a grave mistake because the majority refused to apply the law. Instead, the majority applied their opinion, without true consideration for the law. We need to encourage Donald J. Trump to work hard to appoint Supreme Court Justices to overturn so-called gay "marriage".
The second issue is abortion. Below is their exchange.
Lesley Stahl: One of the things you’re going to obviously get an opportunity to do, is name someone to the Supreme Court. And I assume you’ll do that quickly?
Donald Trump: Yes. Very important.
Lesley Stahl: During the campaign, you said that you would appoint justices who were against abortion rights. Will you appoint-- are you looking to appoint a justice who wants to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Donald Trump: So look, here’s what’s going to happen-- I’m going to-- I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life. They’ll be very—
Lesley Stahl: But what about overturning this law--
Donald Trump: Well, there are a couple of things. They’ll be pro-life, they’ll be-- in terms of the whole gun situation, we know the Second Amendment and everybody’s talking about the Second Amendment and they’re trying to dice it up and change it, they’re going to be very pro-Second Amendment. But having to do with abortion if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states. So it would go back to the states and--
Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but then some women won’t be able to get an abortion?
Donald Trump: No, it’ll go back to the states.
Lesley Stahl: By state—no some --
Donald Trump: Yeah.
Donald Trump: Yeah, well, they’ll perhaps have to go, they’ll have to go to another state.
Lesley Stahl: And that’s OK?
Donald Trump: Well, we’ll see what happens. It’s got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go.
Obviously, Trump answers regarding abortion are more refreshing then anything Obama or Hillary said about abortion. However, it was not what I would call a strong pro-life stand. I was not thrilled when President-elect Trump, referring to a ban on abortions, said "It’s got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go." Why should more babies have to die? Catholics and other Christians want abortions to end right away.
