But you can't <i>destroy</i> it, so the theory goes, in order to save a woman's life.<br /><br />Shaun, I'm afraid it is about Catholic morality. This is, in fact, orthodox Catholic moral teaching, and other bishops have backed this guy's position.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-79431550243769940122010-12-29T23:14:14.435+11:002010-12-29T23:14:14.435+11:00As I understand the case, the 11 week year old fet...As I understand the case, the 11 week year old fetus was likely to die anyway. I just can't believe that Catholic church would condemn the mother to death simply to allow the fetus to die. Never mind the impact of her husband and children. <br /><br />It is not about Catholic morality. It is about a small-minded Bishop engaging is a turf war over authority. <br /><br />Disgusting.Shaunhttp://www.polydaidaloi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-85625299471287755932010-12-29T22:30:55.248+11:002010-12-29T22:30:55.248+11:00You make the church's position sound better th...You make the church's position sound better than it really is. There was no choice between the fetus and the woman. The only choice was save the woman but not the fetus or let them both die. The church wanted to leave the decision up to god, killing the woman and the fetus.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456782971054987441noreply@blogger.com
