So this mostly Catholic city sides with the party which believes in abortion, gay rights, and other issues which are against Catholic teaching. Catholics there must be rather weak in their allegiance to their religion, and therefore I doubt their "Catholicism" has much impact on the local culture, city, or people/families who relocate.

Catholicism has also very strong teachings on fairness and the rights of labor ! Also on discrimination against anyone,including gays.
No one makes you have an abortion,everyone needs a job, many Catholics who hate abortion are smart enough to realize that and live in reality not ideological fantasy land.
