The results of this kind of ACLU action will only mean that Catholic hospitals will shut down all their natal units & have more roomfor other kinds of medical problems.
You cannot force a hospital to have a natal unit or an obstetrics unit.
Plus, two OB/GYNs from the Diocese of Phoenix's Medical Ethics Department said Sr. Keehan misrepresented both the facts of the St. Joseph's Hospital case, and the ethical principles of Catholic health care.
I’m not worried about what the ACLU does. I know what kind of scum they usually are.
I’m interested in the response of this administration, once the race-baiters (who don’t care about Catholics 364 days a year, since they are on the Big Sis calendar) do, once they realize that Obama’s crowd will leave their constituents without medical care. The sh*t will hit the fan via the usual race-baiting suspects, demanding Obama fixes it.
That’s what I’m saving my popcorn for. LOL
I think originalbuckeye was referring to Sr. Keehan.
Right you are. Sorry if I've added to the confusion! I don't know who Sr. Keehan's bishop is --- Wuerl of Washington? --- not one of the Vertebrate Award Winners. Merciful God, what a mess.
A lot of souls are in gravest peril because of this.
The Catholic Bishops publicly stated that if hospitals operating as “Catholic” were forced to do abortions, they WOULD shut them down. The group is becoming increasingly conservative on the life issue, having recently elected a staunch orthodox Catholic as its head.
One can only hope that if an ACLU honcho in DC one day needs emergency life-saving or life-extending services, that they are available only at Georgetown. S/he might learn the benefits of Catholic hospitals. More likely, his/herlife being saved, would insist that any and all crucifixes in the hospital be removed :(
Someone ought to excommunicate Keehan. She is traveling under false colors, claims to be Catholic and acting contrary to her vows. She also lies habitually and stands on the side of the ACLU. Get rid of her.
Yes, where is the 9th Amendment?
If you haven't yet, I think you will find hope in the scholarship of Randy Barnett, the constitutional professor who gained recent notoriety for proposing the constitutional amendment in which 2/3 of state legislatures could nullify any federal law.
He has worked these past 25 years to reinvigorate the jurisprudence around the 9th Amendment. His recommended approach would be consistent with our founders and destroy the liberal assault on our liberties.

His 2004 book, “Restoring the Lost Constitution” will be my next Kindle purchase.
Right. Eggs, meet omelette.
Still, the overriding objective of Obama & Gang is to corner ob-gyn care under the Red banner,and force women voters to lick the hand of the Democratic Party.
That's the overriding goal here -- leverage where they live, over emotionally vulnerable mothers and wives.
One of the first bills I would propose would be to amend Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code to exclude organizations engaging taxpayer funded public institutions such as schools, city governments, etc. in litigation from exemption as charitable organizations entitled to exemption from tax.
Then I would amend Section 162 to provide that no business is entitled to a deduction for costs attributable to litigation with taxpayer funded entities.
