A new Washington Post article criticized Catholic hospitals this week for providing health care to all Americans including unborn babies, prompting one prominent abortion activist to demand that they shut down.
Jill Filipovic, a writer and abortion activist, said Catholic hospitals should “not be in business” or receive tax dollars to serve Medicaid and other low-income patients if they refuse to do abortions.
“The religious affiliation of a hospital should not dictate healthcare. If Catholic hospitals refuse to offer a basic standard of reproductive care, they should not be in business — and certainly shouldn’t be getting government resources or tax breaks,” Filipovic wrote on Twitter, linking to the Washington Post article.
The piece criticized Catholic health systems, which are expanding health care in rural and low-income areas where other health care providers are shutting down. The problem, according to the Washington Post, is that Catholic health systems recognize unborn babies as valuable human beings and refuse to kill them in elective abortions.
“Spread of Catholic hospitals limits reproductive care across the U.S.,” the headline reads. “Religious doctrine restricts access to abortion and birth control and limits treatment options for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.”

Rat Party Headquarters has been trying to shut down Catholic hospitals for years.First it was because they wouldn’t do abortions..and then it was because they wouldn’t do “gender affirming” operations.
BS. Miscarriages are miscarriages and don’t require an abortion, and ectopic pregnancies are life threatening medical emergencies which have NEVER been considered abortions.
If the Fallopian Tube actually ruptures, the baby is already dead by the time the surgery is done to save the mother.
Dealing with a dead fetus is NOT an abortion.
Soon they’ll start complaining that dentists don’t perform abortions and should be shut down. And car dealerships and bakeries and...
They should follow a "standard of reproductive care?"
Um, how is it "reproductive care" when that abortion activist promotes killing the unborn baby (which is the polar opposite of "care") so the mother can't reproduce. So that abortion activist claims she wants reproduction and care, yet literally everything that abortion activist ridiculously says is completely antithetical to what she claims she wants. smh [All Democrats/RINOs = Hopeless Morons.]
I just want to slap that reporter silly just because you can’t talk sense to someone like that.
You have to take a shower after reading any one of her tweets.
Activist: “Oh the humanity of not providing an abortion!!!! They practice human rights at Catholic hospitals!!!!”
Doh!
Catholic hospitals, and all hospitals, are there to save lives, not take them. This person seems to be upset that Catholic hospitals, unlike some others, have not wavered from that mission. That’s a pretty perverse line of thought.
How about “NO”.
Are we finished with giving credence to any idiot with an opinion but no skin in the game?
Evil Jill needs PRAYERS and lots of them!!
Murder Inc. has all the troops out now they lost government footing the bill for abortions.
Let the s.o,b. bleed until they are broke
