Last Month – senior vatican officials publicly denounced women who used the Abotion Pill, stating that “women who use the pill would be volunteeraly excommunicating themselves from the faith.” The statement also went on to say that this excommunication also extends to doctors who prescribe the pill as well as nurses who administer it.  The Abortion Pill (Mifepristone, Mifeprex, and Mifegyne) has been available in much of the U.S. and Europe since the 1990’s.
