I assume that you will never, ever allow yourself to be treated at anything other than a private Catholic hospital. Otherwise, the money you pay for your treatment is subsidizing a facility that performs abortions, and you are just as morally culpable as you are making Bill Frist.

You can be treated wherever you have to. It's quite different to actually make money off killing babies.

Actually, I switched health care providers in order to get a pro-life doctor and pro-life OB/GYN. I'm not 100% pleased with the medical group, but at least my doctor and OB don't refer for abortions, and the medical group doesn't provide abortions (though some of the doctors will refer for them).

I understand your position and other people's about investments and similar issues. However, the difference is that Frist's investment in HCA is HUGE; HCA is a major provider of abortions, including late-term abortions; Frist's history on abortion is conflicting (he has said that he is "personally pro-life but" thinks abortion should remain legal, then flipped and said he was pro-life except rape, incest, life of mother.)

Putting the issue of his financial stake in the abortion industry for a moment, Frist has waffled on abortion issues. He is described as a "moderate" by the press (not that I believe everything the press says), and I question his conservative credentials. I do believe that it's important to have a pro-life conservative as leader of the Senate. I don't think Frist is the man for the job.
