...well, you are who you are, can't change that, but I'll share my thoughts...

>The fact that RCC Doctrine allows for the killing of un-debated persons in Just War scenarios (Note: it is Doctrine...not simply a "Theory" as you tried to mislead)...after a rigid process of "Prudential Judgement" by the victimized nation has been completed...tells me that certain circumstances (physical harm, loss of freedom) are enough to justify the taking of other persons' lives...even very large numbers of them.. Furthermore, that determination is the sole responsibility of that nation...no one else. BTW, the RCC still states forcefully that 'Killing' is always a moral evil.
> Since the RCC allows mass killings of real persons, it is inconceivable that the Church would force an innocent woman who was impregnated by force or coercion to carry a totally unwanted pregnancy to term, knowing that it could severely affect her physical/mental health and freedom for the rest of her life.
> The RCC's/Francis' response to the Brazilian bishop's Excommunication of all those involved in a procured abortion procedure for a 9 yr old girl by her Step-Father (Reversing his Excommunication order...and allowing All RCC Priests to Absolve the sin of Abortion in the Confessional, with a return to full Communion with the Church, tells me that there are circumstances where women do have recourse to abortion, IF they exercise the same Prudential Judgement as Nations do when confronted with War.
> The fact that Francis acknowledged the debate over fetal Personhood tells me that an abortion, if chosen early, provides an opportunity to choose whether or not to allow the pregnancy to proceed to term...
> On a Secular level, government banning of abortion only creates more unjust harm to women by forcing 'Self' and 'Back Alley' abortions, like before Roe v Wade. Something you express no concern over.
> On a Political level, the vast majority of Americans believe in legalized abortions, and those who refuse to accept this fact will pay for it at the ballot box, starting this November.
