Exactly.
We don't need to include churches' opinions in this discussion. Some churches believe killing the smallest human beings is okay, some don't think it is okay. So let's leave churches out of this.
Of course, we have to remember that
As I said, some churches think abortion is a-ok. Would you dismiss a "pro-choice" statement merely because it came from some church?
I'm not against abortion because of what the Catholic Church says, either.
I'm against abortion because it is ridiculous to say a being is a "non-human" being (or non-person) at one point and say that that same being is a "human" being (or person) at another point.
Logically speaking, the being is the same being at every point from after fertilization until death.
I would be against abortion, whether a church told me it was wrong, or not.
I'm finding the Catholic Church more and more attractive, because it defends the weak and because it is against abortion.
The Catholic Church happens to be right about many "life and death" decisions. (And actually led the way in ending infanticide).
