I rotated through a Catholic hospital while getting my degree in genetic counseling. Our whole job was to give women with pregnancies at high risk of genetic conditions all the information they needed to make an informed decision on how they want to move forward, and we weren't even allowed to mention the option of abortion. I was very glad when that rotation was over.

I would really like to see someone who is getting their degree or license push back on the requirement to rotate through a religious hospital, on the grounds that it violates the religious freedoms of the students.

If we’re going to have unconstitutional religious freedom laws, we may as well try and use them against our oppressors.

Wow

I thought the term "catholic hospital" was a joke. That doesn't even make sense to me.

Something like 15% of hospitals in the US are Catholic hospitals.

True story about catholic hospitals, Sometimes, when a woman comes in having a miscarriage, catholic hospitals will just push her to the parking to die so Jesus won't judge them for performing an abortion.

Homicide via medical neglect is totally fine as long as it's done so the hospital staff doesn't go to hell.

My wife had 2 miscarriages in the past few years, the first one almost killed her, she got sepsis and I genuinely thought she was going die for a while. It was around the time that I was hearing a bunch of stories from Texas, we're no where near there but I remember being so scared that they would just push us out.

As soon as they realized what was happening they were 1000% on it. They had to call a doctor in who showed up within 10 minutes chugging a coffee at 3am. No one hesitated.

Everything I hear makes me tear up a little and appreciate that hospital so much. It's 45 minutes away from us and there's closer ones but that's just where we go now and where we're having our son in 2 months. I can't imagine how things would have gone if we were 30 minutes west in a Bible thumping state.

That is so fucking scary and I am very happy to hear your wife made it through and the hospital you were at was invested in saving her life.... as it should be.

If only these ridiculously dangerous religious hospitals could understand that.
