There is no “right” to commit a sin. Rather, sin involves the *abuse* of freedom.
Hence, there is no right to abortion such that supporting a right to abortion could be distinguished from supporting abortion.
There is no “pro-choice,” only pro-abortion. https://www.ncregister.com/news/in-facebook-post-jpii-institute-defends-biden-s-abortion-record

Vatican II reasoned similarly with religious freedom. There is no right to believe falsehood, but there is a right not to be coerced.
By claiming a right to abortion, one rejects this reasoning in favor of relativism, suggesting that freedom implies a right to do one’s will.

Nor does the reasoning of Vatican II imply a right not to be coerced into choosing life, as might be argued. Abortion itself is a coercion, so the principle of non-coercion cannot tolerate it.
