text: Well, I agree with you on one thing:
  
  The hospital decided to ditch the Catholic name and work outside the authority of the Church.
  
  Indeed a wise decision.  If an institution that bears the name "Catholic" does not want to abide by the Catholic Faith, the best and most respectable thing it can do is ditch the Catholic name and be secular.  
  
  You see, in Catholicism, the ends do not justify the means.  It is never appropriate to sin in order to bring about a good.  Since the child would have died anyway, murder is justifiable?  Is that what you expect me to believe? 
  
  If I were in the same situation, I would have instructed the ER staff to do everything they can to stabilize the women and her child. If that was not good enough, once stabilized I would have informed the women that we are going to have to transfer her to another hospital--as this one is not equipped to meet her particular need.
