On the surface that may be true, but here is the problem: What do you mean by "justice".
To give an example. Imagine two men with the exact same three primary focuses in their life:
Family
Job
Health
So they "agree". Except one guy orders them thusly:
1. job
2. Health
3. Family
And the other orders them thusly:
1. Family
2. health
3. Job
Those two men will live completely different lives and actually have very little in common, even though their top three priorities in life are the same, just in a different order.
This is what is happening with the abortion issue, the "justice" issue, infrastructure, etc. They prioritize them differently.
