They should, they MUST refuse to participate in such abhorrance.

The 4 Catholic hospitals should close their doors until the law is suspended.

I would just shut down the hospital, if I were them.

If this bill becomes law I would hope that these hospitals close down their ER’s rather than comply.

The hospital should stop taking public money in any shape or form and then do as they please.

I agree if they all closed the ER’s they would be able to show that they too have power.

This bill is a violation of the separation of Church and State, wrote Bishops Henry Mansell of Hartford and William LoriThey conveniently ignore the fact that these hospitals are operated with huge amounts of taxpayer money. If the Church is running hospitals exclusively with its own money, and with the money of self-pay and privately insured patients, then it should not be subject to interference from government. As long as they run the hospitals with taxpayers' dollars, they have to follow the taxpayers' rules, just like any other institution that uses taxpayers' dollars.

I am under the impression that Catholic hospitals would just have to refer the rape victims to another hospital.

A good start would be to publicly excommunicate every Catholic member of the Connecticut Legislature who voted for the bill and every Catholic politician who supports it.

To give a trival analogy, this is a bit like requiring a Kosher restaurant serve ham and pork. Someone should know enefre to go to a Catholic hospital for such purposes. But, indeed, what is coming up is the demand that every hospital provide abortion services.

Want to put these bishops in a tizzy?
Tell them that it’s the illegal aliens that want the abortions.

The Church will shut down the hospitals before they would administer so-called Plan B.

The best option for the Church is to keep the hospitals open and simply refuse to distribute. It will force a confrontation, but in the meantime, the hospital can continue providing legitimate healthcare to the public. When the hospital administrators are led away in cuffs, these hospitals will close their doors, but not before then. The key is to obstinately refuse to follow an immoral law. At that point, all bets are off. Shutting them down right away will only hurt the people they are legitimately giving care to, as well as all of the employees who earn their living at these facilities.

All they have to do is line the walls of the abortion area with pictures of the slaughtered, and hire the most scary, freakiest looking doctor with some thick foreign accent to perform the murder. That would sure discourage me from going there, or anywhere, for such a thing.
