ugh.

I have a complicated relationship with Catholicism at the best of times, which I won't get into here apart from noting that I was half-raised in the Catholic church. And I find that this disgusts me viscerally. Not even the sex-abuse scandal turned my stomach this badly - that was the Church covering up for rogue elements within, but this is the Church officially proclaiming as a matter of policy that an unborn child is more valuable than a born child, and that a mother has no right to protect the life of her own child. Nothing rogue about it.

Horrifying.
