I believe she said she was told it was an emergency. The Catholic Church will allow abortion in the case of risk to the life of the mother. We do not know if the “emergency” was specified to her. However it is reasonable to think no doctor would consider calling an abortion an emergency, unless it really was. So either it was a legitimate emergency or it was not an emergency I believe she was lied to and should have standing.JMHO
This is not true. The Church opposes all direct abortions, whatever the rationalization. However, loss of an unborn child as a "secondary effect" is not condemned. Such an case would be death of the baby as a consequence of surgery on the mother. One example I've read is removal of fallopian tube while an embryo is implanted in an ectopic pregnancy. Further reading.
Without more detail of the "emergency" claim, it's hard to say how this case would be weighed morally.
“The Catholic Church will allow abortion in the case of risk to the life of the mother.”
The lives of both must be saved (or it must be attempted); they cannot choose. An Italian woman was recently beatified for bringing a child to term knowing that it could take her life (due to another medical condition), which it did.
