That body belongs to someone else who should always have the choice to stop the process. Late term abortion like never happens for convenience. It’s always so sad for everyone and a very difficult moral choice. Give birth to an person who will most likely suffer in a hospital until death or choose to prevent the suffering (many times to reduce risks to the woman carrying the pregnancy). The Catholic Church is so wrong about this.

I'm not Catholic - but hasn't the church gotten more liberal about this while American Evangelicals (and the Republican Party they hold captive) have gotten more extreme?

Nope.

Definitely not. They’re basically in lockstep. The evangelicals are the ones that talk about it the most, obviously. All the miracle baby posts on SM ans whatnot. I’ll never ever forget my evangelical friend posting daily updates about another friend’s poor poor baby that was “blessed” to live in agony for a whole month. The pictures and stories were horrible. Multiple surgeries, pain, suffering, and parents agony. So sad. And they used it as pro-life messaging. No sorry, that doesn’t work for me and my morality.

The cruelty is the point.

Do they get into Executive Heaven if they can promote more suffering? Is it a point system?

It’s a warped and outdated value system that is used to disempower individuals in service of an institution. The more you suffer the holier you are. And I believe those that promote will be judged severely in the end. My god and my Jesus don’t like causing human suffering.
