text: <Do you understand the concept of "opening a door"?>
  Sure I do. I'm asking you to connect the dots, to show how anything Cardinal Bernardin said, did or wrote "opened the door" to justifying abortion. Maybe you've already tried to do this and you realize that anything you write along those lines will be gibberish.
  Catholics may, indeed must, exercise prudential judgment on how to oppose abortion. Do they support policies that reduce the number of abortions? Or do they support policies that demonstrably increase the number and frequency of abortions while holding out for a law that will ban them? One can make a good faith case for either approach, but here in the U.S. (I forget whether you are a US citizen or resident), the latter approach has given us not only the most corrupt, incompetent, unstable president in our history, but also the most virulently, militantly anti-life, pro-death president, too. Infant mortality, maternal deaths, abortion: they will all increase on Trump's watch.
