She broke the rules she agreed to when she took the job.
I’m a little hesitant about this, because she could have chosen to go off and have a secret abortion, pretending that she had the flu for a week or something. At least she chose to bring the twins to life, instead of killing them to keep her job.
But it’s their decision.
One can see that kind of reasoning leading to a sort of moral blackmail: "Nobody is allowed to disapprove of or exact consequences for any sexual behavior ... because at least I didn't have an abortion." That's almost the default setting already for even the most irresponsible actions. "Don't judge me - I didn't have an abortion."
I agree. If they want the sinless to be teachers, there will be a scarcity of application.
Perhaps her first conversation should have been with the archbishop in the confessional. She should have waited and talked to the principal after the penance was completed.
In fact, it's a hair's breath from a liberal's response who wants to play devil's advocate with a conservative.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
(& I'm as pro-life as they come)
I’ve no hesitation at all, she’s gone. Whether she broke the rules a little (non-married pregnancy) or a lot (abortion), she’s not a good role model for a Catholic school.
