DId you look at the list of hospitals in question that is posted earlier on this thread? These are major hospitals, no different from the major hospital near you. In fact, there's a good possibility that your local hospital is on that list. What are you going to do if you have to avail yourself of their services?

I work for HCA, the largest for-profit hospital comapany in the country. This is a ridiculous assertion. Believe me when I tell you the predominat corporate culture is conservative. The corporate office is located in Nashville and the majority of our hospitals are located in the Bible Belt. Frist is a good guy. Abortion related services are not a reatail service line, if they are performed, it is an emergency situation. Yes, still distateful but it is not the practice of any HCA facility to turn patients away from the ER. Please research EMTALA laws.
