Since you were Catholic can you explain self-excommunication? The RCIA process fails when prospective Catholics, Inquirers, are taught that they can wonder off the reservation at will. Other Catholics who are poorly catachized and are in the Church today are ignorant entirely of the Faith.
If your argument is going to be that you follow your conscience on human sacrifice, as abortion is, then the Church will properly tell you that you lack an informed conscience and you need to go inform it. Soon. You know better than to lend your self to arrogant bustardness on the barbary of human sacrifice. Some matters leave us without excuse. This is one of those.
