Not talking about abortion helps Democrats win elections. Instead of Catholic Democrats trying to change their party's militant pro-abortion platform, they insist that Catholics forgot about entirely. So not surprising that NCR editors would advocate for silence. St. Thomas Moore once said, "Silence is consent." He too went against the majority and suffered the consequences for doing so.

NCR writers often advocate political advocacy for every other political and social ill facing the world and the United States, but for some reason, when it comes to abortion, they prefer that we remain silent and say nothing about the sacredness of all human life.

Why is this? How can one say that they are uncomfortable with abortion but don't seem to have problems with supporting those in office who aren't.  Abortion on demand, in all 9 months of pregnancy for any reason whatsoever is the Democratic Party's platform. Heck, they even celebrate it with T-Shirts.
