Halting Second Trimester Abortions in Catholic Hospitals? | RH ...

Catholic hospitals that have not been stripped of their Catholic affiliation already, as was the case recently with St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix when he saved the life of a mother of four children by providing an abortion to emergency are excluded abortion services for women in the form of interpretation. On the basis of our laws conscience, Catholic facilities can not legally refuse to provide certain types of patient care based on the idea that these types of services in contradiction with the position of the Catholic Church against abortion and contraception. But what about stopping abortion once it began?A Catholic hospital in Chicago is doing, all in the service of what they say is their mandate to "protect life."

Resurrection Hospital has instituted a policy to treat women who come to the hospital seeking to stop a second trimester abortion, since these abortions have two stages and a few days to finish. The hospital is doing so "in partnership" with no health care providers or public health advocates.They stuck with the pro-life activists

Working with two anti-abortion groups, Resurrection Medical Center, the largest hospital in one of the greatest Chicago Catholic health care systems, has established a practice that when a woman arrives in the emergency room with an activist seeking to stop a second-trimester abortion, she must be treated immediately. Since October, four women came to the hospital to stop their abortions, and three of them had their abortion law.

Women deserve access to care, of course, and have the right to flex in one direction or the other when it comes to decisions as important as whether or not to continue a pregnancy. What is striking in this story, clearly, is the fact that women are led by activists who are not at all concerned with the welfare of women and to ensure through care, non-judgmental. This is the hard core pro-life activists with an agenda. And despite what those who are very anti-choice activists call what they do, they are not "counseling" to women.They are persuading women to do what they tell them to do.

The article mentions that the hospital has established a protocol to ensure that women are not forced to make the decision to end abortion. And, in fact, a woman decides to continue with the abortion after private confident the hospital staff that she felt pushed by anti-choice activist who accompanied her to the hospital.
