I do want to force catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will, actually. If you can't offer full maternal care don't be a hospital. Fuck off.
The US has a fcked up healthcare system. Denying treatment to patients on the basis of religious belief is antithetical to medical ethics.
Yes has it occurred to Catholics who are unprepared to perform whole categories of healthcare that they could just not be doctors, or not start or run hospitals?
No it's good, actually, that the only full service hospital system within a 100 miles is Catholic thanks to consolidation over the past 20 years /s/
I start the "abortion debate" at forces mandatory abortions for all, and then see where the compromise ends up.
"do discriminatory harm" isn't an ideal oath for the medical profession
If owners of a hospital aren’t willing to provide a minimum standard of care, then they shouldn’t be in the medical business.
“Oh you want some health care, did you bring your picture of the pope?” “Yes i did” “Thats the last pope, do have a picture of the latest pope? No health care if you dont. Hey dont tear that up!”
During a discussion about "conscience clauses" for pharmacists, a friend said, "How about those people join the First United Church of Do Your Fucking Job, Asshole?"
