There used to be abortion displays on my campus and everyone (both sides) were really rude to each other.

I seriously don't understand how this would be possible if it weren't either of these two. A professional duty must come before a religious duty (if the doctors were Catholic, that is... I can understand if a Catholic doctor refused to perform abortion), else the doctor / hospital is medically unprofessional. Even to err on the religious side of caution would imply saving the twins (do not take lives) =.= Furthermore the one to provide the permission in a professional setting is the direct kin (i.e. the father), not the church! What's going on??
Probably the only viable reason to not perform a C-section is that there was too little time and the mother is too weak to handle a C-section, such that a C-section would carry a significant risk of all three [lives/person] dying, whereas not havnig a C-section would at least save the mother's life.

Pregnant mother was giving birth, her heart was failing, she was at a catholic hospital, who believes that the moment there's fertilization, then it's a "person", refused to do a c-section to see if they could save the kids, claiming, in the court at least, they are simply "fetus'" which directly contradicts their very loud stance against this issue.
