Catholics Can't Reduce Abortion to a Question of 'Choice'

Is there "room to be pro-choice in Catholicism"? On the morning of Jan. 5, The Washington Post headlined an interview with Pat Conroy, S.J., the former chaplain of the House of Representatives, with his assertion that there is. But both the question (as the headline frames it) and Father Conroy’s answers oversimplify the Catholic understanding of the morality of abortion and the complicated intersection of moral commitments with law and policy -- to the point of distortion.
