Let me outline a hypothetical.
Candidate A is against abortion. Candidate A supports:
Euthanasia
Gay Marriage
The Death Penalty
Policy that destroys the environment
Policy that is effectively anti-immigration
Candidate B is pro-choice. Candidate B is against:
Euthanasia
Gay Marriage
The Death Penalty
Policy the destroys the environment
Policy that is effectively anti-immigration
In this case, I find Candidate B to support positions that are less damaging, even if I abhor his pro-choice stance. Of course, this is an extreme, but I think it illustrates the point. Catholics cannot be single-issue voters. There are a lot of issues, and many times these issues are intertwined. Catholics should 100% consider abortion when voting. It’s the most important issue that we face in my opinion because it is directly responsible for the murder of millions of lives. However, we also must consider issues like euthanasia, marriage, criminal justice reform, the environment, immigration, and others when voting. Not all issues are created equal, however, there is more than one issue that causes grave evil in the world. If you ask me, you often find that these evils are linked. For example, pro-choice politicians more often than not support euthanasia too (although not always). And for the record, I’ve never voted (to my knowledge) for any pro-choice candidate when a pro-life candidate was available. The most important thing is to vote your conscience. This fact of the matter is important when the two major parties of our country both support grave evils and the next 3 largest parties do the same.
