I think we should also force chuck e cheese to perform abortions.

Instead of doctors we'd have AI controlled animatronics doing the deed.

We have a Catholic hospital here in the city where I live in Ontario. Being publicly funded makes what they do different from the American ones, but despite doing women's health and obstetrics they don't do tubal ligation unless it's approved by their board, so even if you had a planned c section and were planning on having your tubal during the procedure, if you had to have your c section on an emergency basis because you labour early, they won't do it. It's so fucked up. It's a good hospital but come on. It's 2025, most Catholics use birth control. If you don't want to do abortions, fine, but a tubal during a c section is really just saving someone a second surgery.

they don’t do tubal ligation unless it’s approved by their board

So they aren't above doing the procedure entirely? They're just persnickity about who is "worthy" of receiving the service?

If you don’t want to do abortions, fine

It's crazy how a life-saving procedure is off-the-table on the "Pro-Life" grounds.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well I mean what are called therapeutic abortions. Not someone who needs a D and C for tissue that didn't pass spontaneously or something. The Americans are crazy in that regard. If a pregnancy is nonviable it isn't therapeutic abortion.

Same amount of body fluids.

Many hospitals are owned by the Catholic Church and are a huge source of income.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not just the catholics, either. Many flavors of Christianity run hospitals.

Perhaps Catholic institutions shouldn't be forced to perform actions against their beliefs, but then they don't get to use the word "hospital" in relation to whatever their building does.

I feel this should apply to pharmacies too. If you want to have pharmacists that can deny you valid prescriptions from your doctor, then they don't get to call that building a "pharmacy". Just like cigarettes there should be a large lettered warning on the door to the establishment informing you that the person inside has indicated they will deny you a prescription if they feel like it. If the pharmacists want to exercise their moral discretion, they don't get to use the word "pharmacy" for whatever building/business they're doing it in.

If they aren't a hospital or pharmacy then they shouldn't be able to practice medicine.

If y our religion dictates that you not perform life saving procedures, Then you have no business being in medicine.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 64 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I simply don't want religious anything that is essential services.

Religious hospitals? What will they think of next!

At least in countries that charge patients money for their healthcare, these religious hospitals are free, right? Given how much money Christianity makes in donations, and given that their whole religion is all about helping others for nothing in return and without judgement, it would make sense they'd run free hospitals providing healthcare for all, no matter their situation ♥️

A few, but not remotely all. It's really up to the individual hospital.

Then you've got the weird case of St. Jude's which is somehow not a Catholic hospital despite literally being built as a shrine to St. Jude Thaddeus (patron saint of hopeless causes) by a Catholic man to fulfill a promise he made to build a shrine to St. Jude. St. Jude's also does not charge patients for treatment, travel, housing, or food though they will bill insurance where possible.

I don't want religious institutions near healthcare. Imposing attitudes of abstinence only moral puritanism on others. Thats not medicine. Like the WHO said 7 almost 8 years ago drug use needs to be globally decriminalized to remove attitudes of discrimination from health care settings. And at the time then nobody foresaw roe v wade being knocked back and turning the clock of social progress back 5/6 decades+ i wish j could say things cant get any worde but they can and they will. So we don’t need the people making things worse involved in the administration of medical care. We already have too many religious bigots with hoarded wealth whispering in the ear of the dumbest moron on the planet who has control of the nuclear football. And healthcare is already bastardized by the incentives of shareholder profits and the vultures of the for profit insurance industry whos sole purpose is tk deny people adequate health care to boost profits whenever possible so lets not shove religion down the throats of people who are often denied basic dignities.

If abortion is an option, it is the only option worth considering.

The only kids who should be carried to term are the ones that have been planned and prepared for.

I rotated through a Catholic hospital while getting my degree in genetic counseling. Our whole job was to give women with pregnancies at high risk of genetic conditions all the information they needed to make an informed decision on how they want to move forward, and we weren't even allowed to mention the option of abortion. I was very glad when that rotation was over.
