“We should begin by avoiding the intramural argument that has consumed too many Catholics—namely, whether other pro-life issues are as important as or more important than abortion. This argument is itself an artifact of Roe’s removal of abortion from normal political debate, which has led to claims that opposing Roe must override all other pro-life concerns.”
This is bs.
Abortion does override all other “pro-life” concerns.
Abortion is the direct taking of innocent human life. It is murder. It is intrinsically evil.
Other “pro-life” issues either really aren’t pro-life issues, but rather progressive policies open to the political debate as to their worth, or are prudential judgements about which there are legitimate differences.
Jesuits attempting to obscure the truth. Typical.
On the other hand, they pay well.
Well said.
This is true, inasmuch as the prohibition of murder is one of the exceptionless norms, like the prohibition of sodomy, adultery, or perjury.
And because it's directly intended homicide, it has that in common with infanticide, euthanasia, and "assisted" "suicide" --- and other forms of socially-approved or legalized murder.
“Abortion is the direct taking of innocent human life. It is murder. It is intrinsically evil.”
Yup.
So evil, in fact, that up until recently a Priest was not allowed to absolve the murdering party in Confession, but he/she had to go to a Bishop for cleansing.
It used to be taken much more seriously - and that was BEFORE the technology was available to confirm abortion was the taking of human life.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
