Basically, as long as there's a fetal heartbeat, Catholic hospitals won't terminate the pregnancy, even if there is no chance the fetus will survive and the woman is in danger of going into septic shock. They don't give a sh*t about the woman's health, because Baby Jesus and shut up, that's why.

I think it is total bullish*t that hospitals that refuse to perform certain LEGAL procedures (like abortion and vasectomies) on religious grounds are allowed to collect government money (Medicare). Total bullish*t. They want to limit health care, fine; they can fund themselves privately.

unbelievable. i'm glad i don't have to worry about that anymore...except that i do. i have a grown daughter. i hate to think of what i'd do....
