Easy! Anybody who is anti-abortion must vote against pro-abortion candidates, regardless of their stance on immigration. Laws regarding immigration can be changed. Abortion cannot be done over. Once the child is aborted, that is the end of the story. An immigrant denied legal entry can wait and try another day.
The voter can try to change the mind of a pro-life, anti immigration elected official. There is no second look for the anti-life, pro immigration official. The child is dead.
Easy choice for a thinking Catholic.
Ok.
Mitt Romney believes in expanding abortion services and making everyone pay for it through Romneycare.
Obama believes in expanding abortion services and making everyone pay for it through Obamacare.
How is this a simple choice? From what I can see the faithful prolife Catholic cannot choose either.
The Church is unequivocal in it's teachings that there is a hierarchy of issues that confront society and voters and that Catholics must observe that hierarchy. The "Five Non-negotiables" are or should be known to every Catholic voter.
Peace be with you.
You might be surprised at how many FReepers think a few abortions is an acceptable compromise for a win.
Unfortunately I don’t think the damage from open borders can be undone either. I think America is a marxist future even if we can put it off for a little while.
Oh, no, no.
We can work to stop abortion without changing laws by changing hearts and minds. After all, if no women decided to have abortions, there would be no abortions.
But it is the law itself that is the problem with immigration. Immigrating is not a sin in itself as abortion is; it is often a positive good that people do for the sake of their families. It is only the law that makes it a crime. So we must do what we can to change the law.
/fuzzy-minded liberal Catholic sarcasm.
Laws won't change abortion either. Women have to be convinced it is wrong.
