Miscompassion

A really good post at Cantànima on a case in which a woman was fired from her teaching position at a Catholic school because she became pregnant out of wedlock. We need a word for this sort of error [i.e., the error of those who rationalized the firing in the way noted in the post--ed.] (it's certainly common enough). I offer the above neologism as a candidate.
