Abortion and War

Fr. Dwight Longenecker at Standing on my Head has an interesting article on Abortion and War. It starts:

There's some fuzzy thinking among Catholics on the issue of abortion and war. The argument goes like this: "Vote Democrat and innocent babies get killed through abortion. Vote Republican and innocent people get killed in an unjust war. Since you're going to end up with killing either way, let's ignore those issues and focus on the economy." The subtext is, "I'm going to vote Democrat even if their candidate does support partial birth abortion."
