To be fair to Fr. Reese, I don't think he's saying that Trump is "good for the pro-life cause"; I think he's attributing that position to the US Bishops, and  even then he's only saying that they "hope" that's true.  Of course, it's a groundless hope and a preposterous idea.  By reason of his budget, tax and healthcare proposals, Trump has secured his position as the most militantly anti-life, pro-sickness, pro-death president in history.  The nomination and confirmation of a putatively "pro-life" justice to the Supreme Court can never, could never, offset the anti-life policies of this anti-life president.
