Quick: What do you call a
protesting Catholic? A
Protestant!
Given consistent Papal teaching on abortion, this isn't conscience-guidance dissent, it's schism. It's a move for secular faith over transcendent faith, with a sprinkling of Catholic tokens. The abortionists know that the Church is their strongest opponent. A society that can be convinced that "The View" makes for compelling viewing is a society ready for the sophistry these Dems present, thereby weakening (or so they hope) their strongest opponent.
James Taranto (a non-Catholic) has a brilliant and brief discussion of the matter
here.
