I realized that I might get some comments like this. Askel, I understand that once an egg is fertilized, it is technically a life. I also understand that this life is so faint that it is safe to say that this life would not suffer pain at the termination of it's existance. In a perfect world, going to these lengths to start one viable life wouldn't be necessary. Sadly, for some people it is.
To me it seems irrational to think that God would damn people for eternity for seeking to start a viable life by these means. I know that for many people who feel as you do, there will be strong objection to my views.
I respect your views on this, but I do disagree.
As for whether this person is guilty of going against Catholic teachings, that may be true. And perhaps she should rethink her affiliation based on that.
I am not convinced the Catholic Church is right on this one. I do think that Catholics, or members of any other religion should try to adhere to the teachings of their church, as much as possible. For that reason, I don't defend her actions against church teachings, because the church leadership should act in accordance with their concience on this.
So should she.

Simply because they are a rejection of God's will, God's plan and exclude the Creator absolutely?
