Thanks Darlene Gray! Yes, Catholicism changes slowly. Very little has changed in the last 3000 years. That's the point. But states could regulate this part of healthcare MUCH BETTER than they do. Anybody with two brain cells can predict the behavior of Catholic healthcare. Shame on our legislators for not being able to connect the dots.
A favorite act of Catholic health systems is to buy a little hospital for one dollar and to shut off services, usually obstetrics first. This is done to IMPROVE the bottom line...to stop the financial bleed. Our legislators have within their power the ability to apply conditions to purchase, one condition would be to keep OB services available. We all know the devastation which occurs to a small community when hospital service are turned off.
The fact that the partial closures are so slow as to be almost imperceptible changes nothing, the devastation is just harder to recognize because it is so slippery.
This particular topic you ingeniously covered here should definitely concern all sectors of maternal health services! Finding out the Catholic Church prevents measures to save lives of women caught in a Physical Limbo State while trying to save their babies and are denied healthcare to save their own lives is “cruel and inhumane!
