The teaching of the Church on life come first, then safety and then other issues.

No life = nothingness

Safety = ability to provide for family and others without fear

Other = education, health, roads, etc come next (these are what I am willing to pay for and allow the government to do for me that was not in the original intent of the Constitution)
