The seamless garment of life is a logical conclusion of Catholic Theology. The Catholic view of death is unimpeachable, No Abortion, No Euthanasia, No Capital Punishment.
Catholic teaching is beautiful in that it is comprehensive. However, pro-abortion politicians use the seamless garment argument to justify their continued desire for legal abortion. There should be no precondition to ending the termination of human life in the womb. The USCCB is clear that abortion remains the preeminent issue in American politics. We can fight for a society that fully embraces the beauty of life, but abortion is the chief impediment to this realization.
I mean, I find it frustrating that pro-abortion politicians try to twist the concept of the "whole life ethic" just to paint their opponents as hypocrits while doing nothing to actually stop abortion, but we shouldn't necessarily pretend that fusionist corporate shills that care more about companies' profits than human life are that much better.
