Mammale, on the assumption that you are female would you have been machmir on not going to the hospital in an ambulance if you went into labor on Shabbat?
Tell me, when you wake up in the morning do you say “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the frummest of them all?” Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair said about the donkey who would not eat non-tithed food even though it was exempt “????? ?????”.
As for the church issue, while I have reservations I can also see the other side. As I previously posted, there are heterim for someone who is karove lamalchut as these are rabbinic prohibitions.
