To: Mrs. Don-o

Thanks for the details. I figured it was something like that.

Abortion is NEVER necessary to save the life of the mother. There are a few very rare situations where the baby may end up dying because of medical treatment, but the Church does not consider those to be abortion. For instance, if a woman has cancer and needs radiation or chemotherapy to survive, a secondary effect of that treatment may be to cause a miscarriage. But that is not considered to be an intentional abortion. And some heroic women have freely chosen NOT to have their cancers treated in order to bring the baby alive into the world, giving their lives for the sake of their children. But that is not required by the Church.

Abortion to save the mother’s life is just a weasel-worded liberal lie.
