But the murder or children is still not a reason to excomunicate? Sorry, I don’t approve. To me murder is a little more evil than a woman priest, although I do not approve of that either.
Can. 1398 A person who procures a completed abortion incurs a latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication.
Abortion is a deadly attack on one person. Attempting to queer the priesthood is an attack on the entire Church — Christ’s mystical body of which, with the Incarnate Word as its head, we are all members.
Well I think that pols who advocate and facilitate abortions should be publicly called out and excommunicated if they do not publicly denounce their past veiws and actions in this regard. The latae sententia excommunication is worthless for teaching the flock because the vast majority of Catholics never even heard the word much less the concept.
I know, it stinks when the Church isn’t consistant in it’s discipline. I hope better shepards are in the pipe.

I hate to tell you but NOBODY, no church, no group of people do more to fight abortion than the Catholic Church. Just show up for the March for Life in January in DC and you will find at least 75% of those marching are Catholics. Non-Catholics lend lip service but don’t get down and fight in the trenches like Catholics do.
