Küng: prohibition of abortion merciless & unchristian

Hans Küng Joins Abortion Debate In Mexico (California Catholic Daily, April 6, 2007):
“The Church’s absolute prohibition of abortion is a merciless extremism that could be anything but Christian,” said the controversial Catholic theologian and priest, Hans Küng at a conference held on March 28 in Mexico City by the Global Ethic Foundation.
In an unprecedented stretch, the dissident 'theologian' (one uses the term loosely) endeavors to enlist the aid of St. Thomas Aquinas in his defense of abortion. And some protest Rome's removal of Küng's faculties for teaching Catholic doctrine in 1979 as unreasonable? Who is being unreasonable here?
