An inquiry into Canberra abortion services has recommended the ACT government crack down on Calvary Public Hospital's refusal to provide "full reproductive health services in accordance with human rights".
Calvary Public Hospital is funded by the ACT government and operates as a Catholic healthcare provider under the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.
In a report published on Tuesday evening, the hospital has drawn the ire of an ACT legislative assembly committee inquiry after a woman, who has not been identified for privacy reasons, gave "distressing" evidence.
She said she was told Calvary Public Hospital was unable to treat her, despite needing urgent medical care for an incomplete miscarriage.
The patient said she had tissue remaining in her body and was advised of "severe infection and other complications" if the tissue was not removed.
She required a dilation and curettage procedure (D&C) which removes tissue from the uterus.
But the woman said she was told Calvary Public Hospital was not an option for treatment as a D&C was a procedure used for abortions.

What makes me think we aren’t getting this woman’s whole story?
More lying and distortion from the left...
You really have to admire the abortion activists’ creative way with words.
“She said she was told Calvary Public Hospital was unable to treat her, despite needing urgent medical care for an incomplete miscarriage.
The patient said she had tissue remaining in her body and was advised of “severe infection and other complications” if the tissue was not removed.”
She is lying. Nothing in Catholic teaching forbids life saving medical care in the case of a spontaneous abortion aka miscarriage.
