Provide some discussion rather than looking down on other people.
Don't assume that some of us are not familiar with the material or the discussions since then.

I'm assuming she disagrees with the social teaching because she is in the medical profession (radiologist and her husband is an endocrinologist), she is non-Catholic and so doesn't not REALLY know the Catholic social teachings. I'm simply providing non-media sources to read up on what the Catholic Church actually teaches as well as the basis for those social teachings on the sanctity of human life. I can also assume that she does not work for a Catholic hospital so her views on what a Catholic hospital allows and does not allow based on said social teachings is truly a moot point. . . .
What would you like me to discuss? That abortion is always wrong as it is the killing of a human life (a belief I held even when I was away from the Catholic Church). I agree the sister (nuns are cloistered and would not be the administrator of a hospital. . . .) should be excommunicated (in addition to the doctors, nurses and the mother - anyone involved in the procurement of the abortion/any abortion as they are no longer in communion with the Catholic Church).
I only cited sources so people can read up on what the Catholic Church actually teaches if they are not familiar with the ACTUAL teachings. If people involved in the discussions are familiar with the actual teachings, fabulous. Sadly I have to assume people, even though raised Catholic and practicing Catholicism, are not familiar because the majority of people have no clue what the Catholic Church actually teaches and why- even those who have gone through years of Catholic education.
