The Principle of Double Effect is just an excuse for the continuance of the Catholic church’s barbaric practices on pregnant people. It seems as though they violate the tenets of the standard they are supposed to be practicing. Some of them even sound circular to me. What is noble about allowing both fetus and woman die when at least one can be saved? A non viable fetus cannot be saved when its mother can. The Catholic Church has always denied science and medicine. This has gone on for centuries with them. There are reasons why we have Protestant churches. I don’t hate Catholics but I do not approve or agree with their authoritarian views and ideology.
