Ugh, just read the article and that's fucked up. In a just world, if both the patient and physician are not Catholic, they can decide their own health care. But no, the Catholic bishops have to get their filthy, hypocritical hands into everything.
Does the ACLU have any legal standing to sue? It sounds they'd have to get new regulations passed to combat this.
Catholic Hospitals: "But, but, but what about our religious freedom??? Now please send us more federal dollars so that we can continue to proselytize our covenants."
Don't forget Swedish Hospital agreed to these conditions when it merged with Providence, so you may think Swedish has no Catholic affiliation, but be prepared to have your living will and final directives ignored if you are about to die at Swedish. They will give lip service to you but then ignore your instructions. Same crap on contraception and abortion.
@9: Aw, muffin... You had to work really hard for that one, didn't you? I could almost feel the sweaty effort it took for you to get that out. Kinda like Elvis on his last crapper.
@4 "Does the ACLU have any legal standing to sue?"
Often the ACLU does not, so they could do something like "[Seek] Testimony from Patients Who've Been Denied Care at Religious Hospitals" and then provide them with free representation.

For Mary it's a miracle, but for everyone else, it's an abomination. Got it.
