I am not very proud of my Church today.

A couple of things that both "sides" should probably keep in mind.

1) The abortion may have actually been ordered by the court (which is why there was automatic excommunication)
2) The girl's life was considered in danger (which is why it may have been morally permissible, had it been a decision left up to the girl)

And I'm left wondering why the outrage is at the Church... and not the failure of this girls parents to protect their child.

I'd have to agree with you on that, Ben; the mom should be questioned (and maybe have the children taken away from her) for not noticing for three years the harm done to her kid - irregardless of this whole excommunication argument, that little girl, whether she would have lived or died from the pregnancy, is forever scared.

The step-dad should be castrated.
