Ogre-oid: Nun Excommunicated Without Hesitation

NPR reported today on the case of a nun in Arizona faced with a tragic and difficult decision.  A woman 11 weeks pregnant with her 5th child was facing certain death if she didn't have an abortion.

But the hospital felt it could proceed because of an exception — called Directive 47 in the U.S. Catholic Church's ethical guidelines for health care providers — that allows, in some circumstance, procedures that could kill the fetus to save the mother. Sister Margaret McBride, who was an administrator at the hospital as well as its liaison to the diocese, gave her approval.

The woman survived. When Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted heard about the abortion, he declared that McBride was automatically excommunicated — the most serious penalty the church can levy. 

This nun faces complete expulsion from her chosen path in life over this:  expulsion from her religion, her job, and her order.  Meanwhile priests that fuck little boys and girls remain protected within the church.  Fucking up the life of a living, breathing person is somehow less of a sin than saving a woman's life at the cost of a zygote.  The only thing I can say is "FUCK THE CATHOLIC CHURCH."
