“This defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development. Human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems. Once this conviction disappears, so do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of human rights, which would always be subject to the passing whims of the powers that be.”
Concerning capitalism, it is a Marxist word and construct, that we have incorrectly fallen into using, just like 'progressive' and 'liberal'. The Catholic Church has also succumbed to socialism's linguistic blitzkrieg. Only Marxists want to 'bridle' 'capitalism'. What they decry as capitalism is merely the natural order of things to the rest of us.
Well, you are mistaken. The classical definition of liberal economics always included minimal regulation of free markets. This was understood as a more progressive, efficient, and scientific approach. The traditional conservative view was that established economic interests should be protected, to promote social stability. Most people calling themselves economic conservatives today would have found themselves solidly in the liberal camp 100 years ago. If heavily regulated markets seem unamerican, it’s mostly because America has always been a liberal project, with rare exceptions.
