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.

I think it's what happens when you're so concerned about the afterlife that the life isn't as big of a concern. Not that the Church wants people to die, but they would rather you die innocent than sin so gravely.
And it's the whole life begins at conception thing too. Because they can't figure out, or god forbid make up, the moment when the soul exists they save time and go back to sperm+egg. Technically preventing implantation is equivalent to abortion as the Church sees it.
The whole thing is a clusterfuck. So focused on black and white yes/nos that you can't promote condoms to prevent disease.
