GP Lots of lefties screaming, "You're not pro-life because you're pro-death penalty and you're not for government giving away trillions to people who don't deserve or even need it!"

GP Abortion in the Catholic tradition as well as in many/most Christian traditions (and other faiths) is always wrong because it is the unjustified taking of a purely innocent human life.
Always. Wrong.
Always. Wrong.
GP The death penalty in the Catholic faith (and others) is licit but strongly disfavored. It is permitted in a few narrow circumstances.
The death penalty involves, when properly applied, the *justified* taking of a human life, one which has been adjudged guilty.

GP The "give errybody all teh munneez evar" charge is equally hot garbage.
Our faith commands *us* to go help other people. We are not permitted to outsource this charge to government. We are commanded to do these works for the good of other *and* ourselves.

GP So maybe rethink your arguments. It's not like we don't have good faith, logical, longstanding arguments in favor of our pro-life stance on abortion as well as our (often varying) stances on the death penalty and government-run social welfare programs.
GP We may be wrong on some of these positions. We may not always live up to our ideals.
But claiming we can't be against abortion without toeing the Democrats' line on all other issues is a steaming hot pile of weak shit-filled tea.
