So here’s yet another question pertaining to the salvation of my family members. I come from a state that is primarily democrat and Catholic. In my family, my younger brother and I are strong Republicans. We do it because we are pro-life, pro 2nd amendment, pro limited government and so forth. Well my mother, who I love dearly with all my heart, is a democrat. I think she was somewhat raised to be a democrat as my grandparents are also democrats. I know that this party is the party that sides with abortion much more.
My mom seems to side with the democrats because she believes that they are the party that supports the poor and that the republicans support the rich. We’ve never been extremely wealthy. We make ends meet but we don’t live lavishly. My mom is also a single mother who has been through physical and emotional abuse from my father, who no longer lives with us.
Now that my mom is raising us on her own, I think she may feel somewhat insecure about finances? Perhaps that is why she sides with the democrats. Now my brother and I bring up politics quite a bit, usually to bash the democrats and why they don’t make sense, but every now and then we bring up abortion and how it is really bad. My mom agrees with us and thinks that abortion is wrong, but can’t come to the point to vote Republican over this one issue when she believes all the other issues.
Since my mom is aware of the fact that her party supports abortion and she votes for a candidate that supports abortion, is she mortally in danger? My mom is a great woman who has sacrificed lots for my family and she’s the closest to an angel I know. But I’m very worried that this one thing where actually many people are stubborn in (politics), will prevent her from entering Heaven. When we bring up abortion to my mom or grandparents/aunts they all say something along the lines of: “I’m against abortion, but abortion is not the only issue at hand.”
If so, how do I get them to change their minds? I love my family so much and the last thing I want is to push them further from the church or away from salvation.
Any prayers are much needed as I’m incredibly fearful for them (almost nauseous). Thanks God bless.
