There are two man eating tigers on the loose. But one consumes less human flesh than the other. By catholic logic, the less flesh eating tiger gets a temporary pass. Now that is a stretch of immensly flawed and wrongful convictions. The premise itself is based on a losing proposition regardless of the outcome. In this case, eventually the less flesh eating tiger, will at his leisure, consume you anyway.

No thanks. I'll pass.

I pass on both the tigers too.

We are not talking about tigers. We are talking about political candidates and Catholic teaching. Your point is not served by your illustration with tigers.

Trying to compare abortion to the death penalty is nonsense. Everyone knows when someone is convicted and given the death penalty it never ends there. And if they did get convicted they went through a trial and there was an investigation. In other words they were defended. Hardly what happens to an unborn baby. And how many people have died from the death penalty? Certainly not millions and not every day for whatever reason. And when they are put to death there is always so much concern to be sure they don't suffer. Give me a break! If given the death penalty they DID something terrible but still have recourse to appeal and to appeal and to appeal. You know like what happens in California.
