There is a difference between opposing the prohibition of a particular action and actually committing that action.

For instance, it is possible to be in favor of decriminalization of certain drugs without having ever used those drugs oneself. That is, in fact, my position.

While I’m prolife myself, I think claiming that politicians who are pro-choice are therefore themselves guilty of every abortion committed is stretching the argument a step too far.

There is a line somewhere between ministering to sinners and condoning their sins.

No, it isn't.

No. The do not have the moral AUTHORITY to create two classes of human beings, and then define that one class has rights and the other class does not. That the one class can target and kill the other class at will.

If Hitler merely made an edict that German Aryans can kill German Jews at will... OK, it's a true analog, but let's avoid the Argumentum ad Hitleram... if some American president said black people can kill white people at will Or, of course, vice versa) --- and we'll even pay so that this form of "care" can be carried out by he millionfold --- wouldn't that president share guilt in every killing that was committed?

That's what the political abortion enthusiasts are doing. They are accomplices on not just one, not just two, but many levels:

• By excusing.
• By advocating.
• By paying for.
• By praising.
• By furnishing depraved incentives.
• By requiring others to subsidize (e.g. taxes).
• By commendation.
• By concealment.
• By silence.
• By lying about the evil done.
• By backing the murderous institutions with the power of the State.
• By building an infrastructure of murder.

Under that logic, maybe Adolph Hitler never did anything to warrant his sordid place in history, no?

When they legalize it and advocate for it, they ARE guilty of it.

[Arthur McGowan]

Are “pro-choice” people all guilty of HAVING an abortion?

Of course not.

They are guilty of being “pro-choice”—that is, they are guilty of promoting abortion in some manner.

That IS sufficient to make denying them Communion mandatory.
