Ah well, can't say I blame you, female marines annoy me to because of the complete dismissal of fluff and the Sororitas required to justify them. And dismissing the Sororitas is asking for a world of hurt. After all, Sister Mary Napalm can take down two gargants single-handed while three months pregnant, and she needs nothing more than her faith, her flamer, and her incredible sarcasm.
Damn skippy, we need to purge the heretics! Maim, Kill, Bur... I mean purge him with cleansing promethium!

Technically, the Adeptus Sororitas have four major category of Orders.
There's the Orders Militant, the one you normally hear about. There's the Orders Hospitallers, who feed and care for the sick, injured, and poor. The Orders Famulous, who take care of the households of Imperial Governors and Nobles. Finally there's the Orders Dailogous, linguists who translate the numerous dialects used throughout the Imperium and decipher Xenos scripts.
So, only the Orders Militant need to worry about being combat effective at all times. But you're about as likely to see a pregnant Sororitas as often as you see a pregnant nun, for much the same reasons.
