NCR: Abortion Activists’ ‘Plan B’

Catholics Fear a National Campaign Targeting Church Hospitals

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania is the latest battleground in a national campaign by abortion activists directed at Catholic hospitals. The goal? To persuade state legislatures to force Catholic hospitals to dispense the contraceptive known as Plan B.

Catholic bioethics experts suggest the abortion lobby and its allies have an underlying agenda: The drug’s pro-abortion promoters hope to eradicate the religious freedom rights of Catholics to set their own policies at Catholic medical institutions.

According to Dan O’Brien, vice president of ethics for St. Louis-based Ascension Health, which operates 65 Catholic acute care hospitals, said that 15 states have now passed legislation regarding hospitals’ provision of Plan B to rape victims.

Three other states — Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin — are actively considering proposed bills.

  1. If all the Catholic hospitals would stand firm in the face of evil, and say "ok, if we have to go against God's law, we will close all emergency rooms."

    I bet the public would finally rise up in anger.
