This just clarifies to me why I sometimes don't understand the Catholic church.
And seriously, I plan to avoid St. Joe's if I ever move back to AZ. Which is sad that I say that because as an AZ native, I know that St. Joe's is one of the better hospitals in the Phx metro area (see Bret Michaels who is at the Barrow nuerological institute).
I just don't understand why the Catholic church would think it is okay for this young woman, with 4 young children, should die because they don't want her to have a life saving abortion and now are punishing the people at the hospital who performed it. I guess I just don't understand when a fetus (a fetus, not even a baby) became more important than those 4 living, breathing, human beings! I just don't get it. Someone please explain it to me.
