In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com in 2010, Chittister had said that while she is personally “against” abortion, “I would never condemn a woman who finds herself in the position where she believes that, or her doctor believes that, abortion is the only answer for her at that moment.” She also criticized the Catholic Church as being based “on a patriarchal system” and described her admitted divergence from Catholic teaching as a “position of query, of theological and scriptural commitment and search.”

LifeSiteNews featured Chittister's image in their reporting vs AP which showed an image of Mother Teresa's sisters.

The National Post up here in Canada used a picture of the Sisters of Life.

“I would never condemn a woman who finds herself in the position where she believes that, or her doctor believes that, abortion is the only answer for her at that moment.”

I would.

I'd start the divergence of funding for her lifestyle as well.
