If you can tolerate a Presbyterian/Southern Baptist interpreting Catholic church teaching, read on. :-)<br /><br />Breifly, the church does not say that all killing is wrong, including (presumably) all abortions. However, it teaches that we are not to take human life without justification--and elective abortion does that. For example, treatment for ectopic pregnancy that requires immediate medical intervention is not elective and thus is not absolute evil. Rather, it's justified with an appeal to the law of double effect.SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905606527143286458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-30839163736266860522011-02-17T15:08:18.517-08:002011-02-17T15:08:18.517-08:00Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by el...Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by election abortion, but if elective abortion is an absolute wrong, then it seems it would be wrong to have an abortion even to save the lives of Mom and several siblings in the womb. Most pro-lifers can maintain consistently that such exceptional cases may be morally allowable. But I would have thought that to be an elective abortion.Jeremy Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441308872350317672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-68581878918874910332011-02-17T11:30:03.601-08:002011-02-17T11:30:03.601-08:00Wonderful!
