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.

Just because they work in a catholic hospital or are being treated in a catholic hospital does not mean that these people are catholics. That is why I am arguing that they should not be forced to abide by Catholic social mores in an emergency situation.
