What does Jesus Preach?

Church Catechism

Abortion

Defined, is the deliberate termination

Of pregnancy

By killing the unborn child.

Such direct Abortion

Willed either as an end or a means

Is

Gravely contrary to Moral Law.

The Church attaches canonical penalty of

Excommunication

To this Crime against human life.

2270

Human Life must be respected and protected

Absolutely,

From the moment of Conception.

From the first

Moment of his Existence

A Human Being

Must be recognized

As having the

Rights of a Person.

Among Which

Is

The inviolable right of every

Innocent Being to life.

2271

Since the first century the

Church

Has affirmed the Moral Evil of every procured

Abortion.

This teaching has not changed

And

Remains Unchangeable.

2272

Formal co-operation in an

Abortion

Constitutes a grave offense.

2273

The inalienable Right to Life

Of every innocent Human Individual

Is a Constitutive Element of a civil society

And its legislation.

The inalienable Right of the Person

Must be recognized and respected

By

Civil Society and Political Authority.
