Catholics want New York's Gov. Cuomo to be excommunicated for his abortion policy

[Prosper]

6. Contradiction.

Calling for Cuomo's excommunication highlights a glaring contradiction and problem. Abortion and birth control are both mortal sins in the eyes of the Catholic church. From Wahington Post:

"Birth-control is widely used even by Catholics: 98 percent of American Catholic women have used contraception in their lifetimes."*

Are the people calling for Cuomo's excommunication prepared to call for the excommunication of most Catholic women and their sex partners.

Birth control and abortion are both mortal sins. Just a guess on my part but I'll bet more births are prevented by birth control than by abortion. Masturbation is also a mortal sin just like abortion and birth control and I'll bet it prevents more births than the combination of abortion and birth control.
