A Question on Forgiveness

[justfran]

If we confess a sin, eg. voting for a pro choice politician, are we also forgiven of the other sins that come as effects of this sin, even if these effects occur after your confession?
Eg. by voting pro-choice, then every time an abortion happens under the power of that politician that we vote into power, we'd have committed another sin (the sin of allowing the aborttion to happen). Does it get absolved if we confessed voting for that politician, even if the confession was before the abortion happened?

You are only culpable for the moral choice you make, not the effects that your moral choice has.

If I give money to support an abortion, then I have committed a sin. I am guilty of that abortion just like if I performed it. However, if later the doctor takes that money and uses it for a prostitute, I am not also guilty for that sin.

Or in your case, if you vote for a pro-abortion politician, you're sin is your vote. You are not guilty of murder directly.

The principle here is whether there is "direct material cooperation" or "remote material cooperation" with evil.

In the case of "remote material cooperation" you are not responsible for your participation, not for the act that will eventually be committted.
