Catholic Church flexible on issue


Abortion

Right to abortion is a deep moral and ethical question facing Americans.

Pro-choice advocates state that the mother should have the right to decide on personal matters such as abortion. State has no right to interfere.

Pro-life advocates believe that life starts at conception. Hence an unborn has the same fundamental right to life granted by the constitution to all Americans.
