Let's play with the idea

The term "right to life," which we now associate with the
anti-abortion movement of the 1970s, was first coined by the Catholic
social philosopher John Ryan as a defense of the male breadwinner
family wage. Drawing on the Thomist natural law tradition and the
social doctrine of Pope Leo XIII, Ryan posited that every male worker,
however poor and whatever his ethnic origin, had a right to a "living
wage" by virtue of the sanctity of human life. The same argument
undergirded Ryan's defense of the large family and his strident
opposition to any form of "unnatural" birth control, which he
understood as both a perversion of natural law and a form of race
suicide.

But them same Catholics don't support a "living wage," just that
"right to life" rhetoric.
