  It was the pacifist Eileen Egan who first coined the term "seamless garment" to challenge those members of the pro-life movement in favour of capital punishment. It now covers issues of migration, arms control, war, poverty, global warming and the environment. A Catholic can rightly exercise prudential judgement on these issues but_not_on_ abortion. Progressive modernists do justify abortion because the world is not as it should be and claim Catholics in America who vote Republican are not really *pro-life* because of this.
