It is not a sin to eat fish or meat! Destroying a life that God has created in the womb is a sin. But it is not a sin that cannot be forgiven! God is waiting with open arms and heart with His forgiveness, mercy, love and abundant graces for the repentant women and men (yes, men who  are aware that a women they impregnated are going to have an abortion are also responsible before God and need His forgiveness, mercy and graces) who humbly approach Him.

My answers at the Catholic Reporter are not meant to deny that God gives us free choice nor are they meant to be judgmental. They come from my own awareness of being a sinner, who is most grateful for a loving, forgiving and merciful Father in Heaven, who wants nothing more than to see people turn away from sin and live in His image and likeness. This is difficult to do when we remain in our sin. There are alternatives to destroying the child in the womb for whatever the circumstances.
