But the point is that the Catholic Church is not responsible. Literally, not responsible. You, and the state of Connecticut, are treating the Catholic hospitals as if they do what they do out of legal duty. They don’t; they do it out of moral compassion, which, so long as it doesn’t participate in evil, is a Christian work. If they must participate in evil, then all they are doing is diverting religious funds to support a socialist state by filling in where the state fails to meet the responsibilities it has claimed for itself.

I’m not treating the Catholic hospitals like anything. I have nothing to do with this. I simply think closing the doors would be moronic. Just refuse to provide Plan B and battle it out in the legislature and in the media.

If there were no other recourse, I would agree, but the hospital can still stay open and simply refuse until an inevitable showdown occurs. Meanwhile, during that time, legitimate healthcare can still be provided.
