Abstract

This thesis describes attitudes of Catholic women religious towards women who have had abortions. The subjects of the study were nine sisters who participated in intensive interviews, 45 sisters who responded to an anonymous questionnaire distributed to a random sample of one hundred, and one sister who was in therapy for nearly one year. The findings provide information about the barriers Catholic women religious face in their ministry toward women who have had an abortion. Attention is given to some of the areas of conflict that may widen the gap between the service which Catholic women religious feel mandated to provide and the actual care received by women who have had an abortion. The study highlights a unique issue in the Catholic church pertaining to its directives and doctrines on abortion.
