It was certainly the right outcome, but a sad one. It would have been better if they could have kicked that heretic nun out of the Church and brought the hospital back to observance of Catholic precepts.
I agree, sad to see, but I expect more “Catholic” colleges and hospitals will secularize in coming years.
McBride was excommunicated.
I read the whole article and it appears she was in fact, excommunicated:
"It was thus my duty to declare to the person responsible for this tragic decision that allowed an abortion at St. Joseph’s, Sister Margaret McBride, R.S.M., that she had incurred an excommunication by her formal consent to the direct taking of the life of this baby. I did this in a confidential manner, hoping to spare her public embarrassment."
