I. Respect for Human Life

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2272
Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense.
The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime
against human life.
“A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae
sententiae,”⁷⁶ “by the very commission of the
offense,”⁷⁷ and subject to the conditions provided by Canon
Law.⁷⁸
The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy.
Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable
harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and
the whole of society.
