I guess what I meant was that since to me abortion is the killing of a child wouldn’t that be construed as murder? Didn’t the church refuse communion to people (Kerry comes to mind) that if they supported abortion they’d be denied communion - again, this is just a question/being curious ....

Thanks

As far as I know, no Catholic politician has ever been denied the Eucharist because of abortion. They definitely should do this and hopefully they will soon.

And yes, abortion is certainly considered murder by the Church.
