Political views

Freedom From Religion Foundation

In December 2015, the FFRF, a Wisconsin-based legal organization stated that a concerned resident contacted them about a nativity scene at the City Hall in Rainbow City, Alabama. The organization sent a letter to the mayor and the nativity scene was removed, but soon returned to the front lawn. Butler, along with State Senator Phil Williams (R), have hosted the event as "we the people" most years since the initial incident without further action.

Abortion

Butler does not support abortion in any aspect. He calls the act of abortion "human sacrifice" as well as "pure evil".[citation needed] Butler is known for his political commentary on his personal Facebook page, where he has called supporters of abortion, along with all members of the democratic party "pure evil" and "guilty of murder by association".[citation needed] On numerous occasions Butler has stated he wants to see an end to abortion protections, such as Roe v. Wade. Butler stated "this could finally be the law that overturns Roe v. Wade"[citation needed] to his personal Facebook account, talking about the appeal by Alabama AG Steve Marshall after the “Alabama Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Act” was struck down by two lower federal courts.

Personal life

With his wife Connie, he has four children.[2] He is a Baptist.[2]
