what the fucking hell?

i wonder if the step-father is being excommunicated for raping a child, or if that counts as a life-affirming activity since he created two zygotes?

aaaarrrrgggghhhh.

do you remember the irish girl who was like, 8 or 9 and she was abused by her father and got pregnant and her mother went to court to get permission to get an abortion, and it was refused, then they refused her permission to travel to England. This is like a good 15-18 years ago, but the same kind of situation.
I thought the Church was all about compassion?? Whether or not you support abortion in general, what other option is there?
