“And your understanding of the Catholic position is also wrong”
Which Catholic seminary did you attend?
In several countries the Catholic Church has gotten the government to ban ALL abortions under ALL circumstances, and to enforce such a ban: El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Malta. Now, in Malta, a woman who needs an abortion can get to Italy very quickly, but in the other two, women die. That is what much of the so-called pro-life movement wants for the United States.
