Maguire drew on St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas who both thought that to allow certain moral evils would prevent greater evils. He further cited Aquinas, who said that the wise legislator imitates God, who tolerates certain evils lest greater evils ensue.
Here's an idea - Instead people causing crime, why not use the government to take some people stuff and give it to other people?

So women dying from botched abortions is more evil than putting to death a helpless baby, or really all helpless babies? I don't understand the (il)logic. Illogic indeed, instead of comparing legal vs illegal abortions, shouldn't Maguire be encouraging women to give birth and life as nature and God intended.

This guy obviously saw “Sophie’s Choice” and believes that to kill only a few million is better than to suffer the indignity of losing others. Some times, as horrible as it is, it is the right choice to die, with your kids, than to choose murder of the innocent. Sadly, I would choose to die with my family than to condone the murder of one.

Maybe the bishops should start harassing their university professors who don’t believe what their church teaches.

Whatever happened to the Mandatum?
Is he tenured?
He needs to be fired for his arrogance and disrespect.

This is why I would not allow my son to even apply to any of these CINO colleges. I would rather have him go to a secular college where he knows to be on guard against the lies being told.

McGuire is an old man who left the priesthood and still
wants to control peoples lives. I thought he most probably was dead by now.

Daniel C. Maguire is a 24K POS. An ex-priest, who married Marjorie Reiley while she was a grad student at Catholic University, claims he can find a woman's right to abort her baby in Scripture. Those two wrote Abortion: A Guide to Making Ethical Choices for Frank Kissling and the anti-Catholic CFFC back in 1983.
Their particular judgments, along with those phonies at Marquette who enabled them, will be interesting to say the least.

Professor Maguire has no business teaching at a Catholic university and advising the Bishops on matters of faith. It is the duty of a Catholic university professor to teach the Catholic faith, not what he would like it to be. It sounds like he would fit in better with a liberal Church like the Metropolitan Community Church.

“What could be more evil then killing a human being?...”
Well according to this clown, challenging the faith of those that support killing a human being is more evil...

Ya gotta be kidding me:
The letter continued, Similarly, today legislators who truly think abortion immoral could vote to keep it legal since greater evils, multiple deaths of women (especially poor women) from botched abortions as seen before Roe v. Wade, would follow.
The mythical thousands versus the factual millions, to say nothing of the psychological and spiritual carnage women and men suffer post-"choice"...
And this so called Catholic is teaching.

If irresponsible sex had more consequences, there’d be less irresponsible sex.
Hey ‘teach’, got any stats on the number of women who died in any given year, from botched abortions?
Nah?.....Didn’t think so!

what he's tyring to say is that it's moral to vote for a pro-abortion democrat and immoral to vote for the pro-life republican as a republican might vote to lower an entitlement appropriation or expect people to take care of themselves and be more responsible.
archbishop myers talks about proportionalism here in this thread, pro life is first while everything else is secondary.
Veritatis splendor
116.
A particular responsibility is incumbent upon Bishops with regard to
Catholic institutions. Whether these are agencies for the pastoral care of the family or for social work, or institutions dedicated to
teaching or health care, Bishops can canonically erect and recognize these structures and delegate certain responsibilities to them. Nevertheless,
Bishops are never relieved of their own personal obligations. It falls to them, in communion with the Holy See, both to grant the title "Catholic" to Church-related schools,
179 universities,
180 health-care facilities and counselling services, and, in cases of a serious failure to live up to that title, to take it away.
179. Cf.
Code of Canon Law, Canon 803, 3.
180. Cf.
Code of Canon Law, Canon 808.

Ex Corde Ecclesia? Catholic members of the university community are also called to a personal fidelity to the Church with all that this implies. Non-Catholic members are required to respect the Catholic character of the University, while the University in turn respects their religious liberty
