Not quite.
If you had an abortion and then said 'oh father forgive me for I have sinned' unless you MEAN it, you don't get a ticket back into the realm of the saved.
I think thats what people don't understand about the forgiveness aspect and salvation by Catholic doctrine. Saying you repent and being repentant are two different things.
