The extreme majority of abortions are elective procedures. Medical professionals refuse to perform elective procedures all the time (radical mastectomies of healthy tissue, excessive plastic sugery, preventative root canals and implants, et al.). Abortions that aren’t elective, say to save the life of the mother, are not prohibited by the Catholic church.

Science says that life begins at conception, the heart beats at 6 weeks and the ability to perceive pain is still a gray area before the third trimester. With that stated, medical professionals should not be compelled to participate in procedures deemed personally abhorrent, and there’s loooong history of doctors and nurses not participating in abortions, forced sterilizations, etc. on moral grounds.

...and yes, I agree, that some of the other stuff may indicate that she’s looking for a lottery ticket.

Exactly. Did she NOT research where she’d be working and what their policies were? Is she looking for an easy payday? Not quite sure what her motivation is.

Catholic Church forbids all abortions.
