During this prominent occasion, Butker sported a tie emblazoned with the Latin phrase "Vulnerari Praesidio," a statement that translates as "Protect the most vulnerable." This attire, designed by the pro-life organization Life Action, publicly proclaimed Butker's stance on the highly debated issue of abortion, according to a report by The Daily Signal.
The statement didn't stop at his neckwear. A gold pin adorning Butker's attire, shaped like a pair of baby's feet, represented the size of a fetus at ten weeks – a poignant visual symbol is chosen to reflect the tragic reality of abortion. These stylistic choices were more than just fashion statements for Butker; they represented an explicit, albeit unspoken, message to the Biden administration.

Butker, deeply moved by his personal experiences and convictions, relayed a statement to The Daily Signal: "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. 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."

Lila Rose, founder and President of Live Action echoed Butker's sentiments, adding her critique of the current administration's policies. "President Biden is a professing Catholic who, as the most powerful man in the world, is responsible for leading the most pro-abortion administration in our history that has overseen a horrific death toll of 2,548 children every day lost to abortion," Rose stated, as reported by The Daily Signal.

A devout Catholic, Butker has publicly shared his belief in striving for sainthood during his earthly life. In a previous interview with EWTN News In Depth's Colm Flynn, he explained, "I'm not just making kicks so that I can make money and I can puff myself up as this great person that people want to be like one day. I'm making kicks because God wants me to have a platform, at least for right now, to share this message of faith, of growing in virtue, of growing closer to the sacraments and of being a saint."
