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.

Wait a minute, I thought all you had to do was confess to a priest! No one ever said anything about meaning it!
On a more serious note, it might also depend on the degree of your being pro-choice. Some people consider it an all or nothing deal and so they might think that if you think that abortion in extreme life or death circumstances is acceptable then you must be pro-choice. I think that it would then be more reasonable for a Catholic to be slightly pro-choice and still consider himself or herself to be following the dogma.
