They should, they MUST refuse to participate in such abhorrance.

The 4 Catholic hospitals should close their doors until the law is suspended.

I would just shut down the hospital, if I were them.

If this bill becomes law I would hope that these hospitals close down their ER’s rather than comply.

The hospital should stop taking public money in any shape or form and then do as they please.

“I would just shut down the hospital, if I were them.”
Fantastic idea. Kill some more people.
To: NYer
I agree if they all closed the ER’s they would be able to show that they too have power.

This bill is a violation of the separation of Church and State, wrote Bishops Henry Mansell of Hartford and William LoriThey conveniently ignore the fact that these hospitals are operated with huge amounts of taxpayer money. If the Church is running hospitals exclusively with its own money, and with the money of self-pay and privately insured patients, then it should not be subject to interference from government. As long as they run the hospitals with taxpayers' dollars, they have to follow the taxpayers' rules, just like any other institution that uses taxpayers' dollars.

I am under the impression that Catholic hospitals would just have to refer the rape victims to another hospital.

A good start would be to publicly excommunicate every Catholic member of the Connecticut Legislature who voted for the bill and every Catholic politician who supports it.

To give a trival analogy, this is a bit like requiring a Kosher restaurant serve ham and pork. Someone should know enefre to go to a Catholic hospital for such purposes. But, indeed, what is coming up is the demand that every hospital provide abortion services.

DeLuca had proposed an amendment, which was endorsed by the Catholic Conference, would require every hospital to have a written protocol for dealing with rape victims. Hospitals would be allowed to refer such patients to other facilities, but would have to report their reasons for doing so to the Department of Public Health. Catholic hospitals, in those rare cases, would provide the patient information on where the medication is available and provide transportation to another hospital if the patient requests a transfer. Outside rape crisis counselors are also available from outside the hospitals if the patient requests their support, the bishops said.
DeLuca did not succeed in getting the amendment passed.

Want to put these bishops in a tizzy?
Tell them that it’s the illegal aliens that want the abortions.
