The Vatican has announced that scientists who carry out embroyonic stem cell research and politicians who pass laws permitting it will be excommunicated.
Good for the Vatican.
Now if they'll only do the same for Catholic politicians who claim to follow their church's teaching on abortion personally, but support the legality of abortion (i.e., "I'm personally opposed to murder, but I wouldn't want to impose my morality on anybody else-" you know, Kennedy, Kerry, and almost every Catholic Democrat on Earth), they will at long last be on consistent and morally defensible ground.

You may not agree with the exceptions- conception as the result of rape or incest, however tragic and traumatic, do not render the child less human- but they are in fact consistent with Mormon teaching.
