We need to find out how many federal dollars gi to them bit overtly and covertly and take it away. Also at every opportunity, they should be sued and forced to spend money defending their Marxist agenda.
People will never understand now. What would the world be like today if instead of the Crusades we had waged the Dialogues?
But now we must only discuss things in a civilized way, with rabid carnivores.
We mock the deluded fools who embrace wild animals and get devoured by their “pets.” Are we any wiser, really?
We either fight, or coexist ourselves out of existence. And it looks like we’re never going to fight.
You know, I don’t want to force every supermarket to carry my favorite barbecue sauce! When I need it, I go to the store that has it.
Why is this idea of Liberty beyond comprehension for those at the ACLU. If someone wants an abortion, just go to the hospital that offers it, just as Jane Roe could have hopped on a bus from Texas to Chicago to get her abortion instead of suing Texas.
But Liberty is not in the mind of the American Civil LIBERTIES Union. No, coersion is. And any that don’t comply must be destroyed.
The ACLU is going to litigate the Catholic Church out of existence if they can. I believe the Catholic Church has already been forced to suspend their adoption services because they won’t consider gay households for the adoption of children.
The ACLU had better watch it here.
In many crime-ridden, inner cities of this nation, the ONLY hospitals with the balls (we call it faith) to provide health care in these dangerous places....are Catholic hospitals.
I hope the Catholic Church calls their bluff and announces plans to close these hospitals, serving the neediest of the needy. Then, wait for the fallout.
I’d love to see them try their wordsmithing and parsing and general b.s.ery on Judgement Day. Yes, it’s petty but I’m a sucker for cheap entertainment.
Pro-life bump!
I had my lung surgery in a Catholic hospital last spring. For something as serious as that, I am so grateful they were there—they actually advertise prayer as part of the treatment, and the entire place just had a much better atmosphere than other hospitals in the area. I credit them with my successful surgery, complete eradication of cancer, and my subsequent relatively speedy recovery. If the ACLU closes this place, it will be a horrible loss for people in central Oklahoma.
Clearly emboldened by the most proabortion president in the history of the United States, they go to government to try to force their hate on others and complain when the faithful try to protect the most vulnerable.
Most of them don’t care about eternity because they don’t believe. And they ridicule us for believing. Alinsky 101.
I think you’re pretty close to their intent. I think they’d like to legislate the Church out of this country, or perhaps construct a box to keep it confined to, with no option of release unless they “play ball” with the liberal power-whiners that be. I’d guess that this next year will be the telling one, between abortion, DADT, and homosexual unions (i.e. “gay ‘marriage’”). Weasels. No, I retract that; it’s unkind to weasels.
The fallout will be that those hospitals will be taken over by the government as part of ObamaCare. This has been the goal all along.
You are mistaken. The ACLU doesn’t care about people. They care about advancing their agenda. If more poor, inner city people die because of it, so be it. Socialism marches on.
I am not at all convinced that directly targeting and dismembering the living baby was their "only" option. Aggressive circulatory/respiratory support for the mom, possibly for the x-number of weeks necessary for a premature delivery with a better chance of survival for both, is the way I;m told some hospitals would ave handled it.
Or if they decided, for some hellbent reason, that dismembering the baby was "the only thing to do," doing it at a Catholic hospital was not their "only" option. Other FReepers have pointed out that there is at least one well-equipped non-Catholic hospital just minutes away from St. Joseph's.
I am sorry to say that this sounds lke a set-up. St. Joseph's, plus the 40-hospital parent-corporation Catholic Healthcare West, plus the Catholic Health Association (a nationwide trade association of Catholic Health executives) are reacting in unison to express support for thed abortion decision, which suggests collusion.
Anybody having any more information, please keep me on your list. I'm trying to keep up with this. The repercussions of this are going to be very widespread and very grave, with Obama-supporter Sr. Carol Keehan now the CEO of the CHA. I am sick over it.
The ACLU should force Childrens Hospital to take in adults.
What right does Childrens Hospital have to decide that an adult is not worthy of receiving their care.
A hospital should have to serve whoever shows up at their door.
Why does Veterans Hospital only serve Veterans?
Sarcasm but just as germane as the ACLU argument that states abortions should be performed in Catholic Hospitals.
Yes. For days we heard about the ‘terminal’ condition of the mother. Only after the Archdiocese’ decision was made public did we find out what the condition was. Pulmonary hypertension can be treated. And there was another hospital nearby where she could have had an abortion. The Sister should be excommunicated. She doesn’t uphold Catholic tenets. And I’m not a Catholic. I just believe in living your religion.
