Strawman. The whole of the debate on this issue would indicate that there are positions much more finely tuned than a dichotomy. Arguing someone in to a position that isn't theirs isn't debate.

if the catholic church holds that abortion is tantamount to murder and you profess that it is not, you are not a catholic.

Perhaps you're not Vatican Catholic...but there are precious few of those. Why is it that you're giving more heed to the guys in the pointy hats? If i had to identify a true soult o Catholicsm, i'd be out among the lay people trying to figure out what was important to them about Catholic tradition...
