In fact, Googling brings up many such articles for those who aren't too lazy to look. Suffice it to say, the Catholic Church thinks it knows better than you do about your own medical decisions. It's not just about needed abortions; it's also about end-of-life decision, advanced directives, DNRs and other things.
