Core principles is just that. CORE It means you start out that way and end up that way. Changing one’s mind on purely POLITICAL issues is something else altogether.
CORE principles include THOU shalt not murder. Abortion is murder. You either support murder or you don’t. In that sense, there is no political issue involved. It is who you are inside.
Gun control is and has never been allowed by the Constitution. Not a little bit. Not alot.
You either adhere to the Constitution, or you don’t.
Committing a crime with a firearm moves that issue into the criminal catagory. Denying criminals weapons is one thing. Making criminal out of law abiding citizens is another. Any law against firearms beyond that is a CORE principle.
Healthcare is not a right. It might be a doctor’s DUTY to treat the ill, but it is not a right of every citizen to receive it. It is a matter of conscience. The United States has always had a conscience. Hardly anyone in this country is denied lifesaving health care, but government involvement will change that, and it has in many cases.
Maybe you should learn to tell the difference between CORE values and peripheral political decisions like what roads get built where. Never the twain shall meet.
If you can believe in your heart that abortion is wrong, you can’t publicly support it for superflous political reasons. That indicates to me that your CORE is made of jello and just as worthless.
