“As abortion is one of the few sins that carries an automatic excommunication (Canon 1398), there is no doubt that a politician who actively protects abortion and strives to make it more accessible also risks his or her salvation,” Bishop Wall added. “It surely is not ‘expansive’ to put this evil in the category of grave sin.”
A question from a non-Catholic: are women who had abortions allowed to repent and regain their statuses as Catholics?
Yes, this is a sin that is forgiven if the person is truly repentant.
yes.
Yes. So can axe murderers--and abortionists.
Christ-ian= you repent, all is forgiven. I forgive you for killing our son. You still have to do time in jail, and purgetory. We still will feel sorrow all the days of our lives over it.
