I was wondering if a women has an abortion at 6 weeks and she is of the catholic faith is she able to receive absolution from a priest or is she condemed for life and not able to partake in the catholic mass
A Catholic who has had an abortion, regardless of how many weeks, can be forgiven through the sacrament of Penance (Confession) if she is truly repentant.
