Catholic Hospital...or not?

Here's the story:

Woman enters St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. She's 11 weeks pregnant and suffering from pulmonary hypertension.

Hospital's Ethics Committee decides that aborting the baby will save the life of the woman (almost called her "mother").

Baby aborted.

Bishop Ohmert steps up to the plate, excommunicating Mercy Sister (snort!) Margaret Mary McBride (who sat on the Ethics Committee and agreed with the decision) and threatens to withdraw designation of St. Joseph's as "Catholic".

Here's a pretty fair news story about it.

This video, on the other hand, is GROSSLY unfair. If Call to Action is a Catholic organization I am an imam. Call to Action advocates for the ordination of women, the end to priestly celibacy, gay "rights"...in other words, they're Unitarians.
