Oh. That’s right. Abortion is an issue unto itself, hermetically sealed off from all other issues. The fact that the Democrat party is pro-abortion is NO indication that anybody in the party is hostile to the Church, or acting in bad faith, or is a bad character.
I have a friend whose bishop said, AFTER the HHS Abortion Mandate came down: “I never saw this coming.”
