The hospitals should refuse the money and either do what they can without government money or close. Here, in my part of western ND, closing the Catholic hospital would close the only hospital in the south western 1/4 of the state. An equivalent facility would then be as much as 200 miles away. Perhaps the folks would get enough.

Now, the second conundrum; North Dakota has passed a law recognizing the humanity of an embryo and fetus. How does this jibe with the dear leader's dictate?

Exactly. Case in point, PCA raved because the amendment to recognize embryos and fetuses as part of SCHIP coverage was shut down (nevermind covering the Lamonts that live in mom’s basement and are grown men added to it). But believe me many apply for Medicaid due to pregnancy only to go get their abortions.

But then again, they send out mother’s day and choice on earth cards.

BTW Pro Choice America has the fact sheet PDF link at their site re: FOCA

Somebody should tell them it doesn’t exist.
