Abortions are medical procedures and contraceptives are the medical professional advice to prevent unwanted children/disease. If the institution doesn't allow for fucking medicine to be practiced, it's not a hospital, it's a church.
So yeah, let's allow catholic hospitals to do whatever the hell they want with regards to religion, idgaf. But if their religion prevents them from offering medical care, they're not allowed to practice medicine and they sure as shit aren't allowed to call themselves a hospital.
Their religious morals do not allow them to perform abortions. However, there are medical procedures banned in secular hospitals for moral reasons that are not exclusively religious, like euthanasia. Does that mean that countries that do not allow euthanasia do not have hospitals, but churches?
You can derive your morals from wherever you want, I honestly don't care. And you can consider those morals when applying for a job, such that you don't end up with a career in a field where you are forced to go against your morals. This "I'm in emergency care or obgyn but don't do abortions" shit? That's too late. You had your time to make a decision - when you're already hired is not that time.
I'm sure plenty of catholic doctors make great physicians. But if you allow your morals to come before your job, but actually lack the morals to quit that job when it is apparent that it contradicts what you believe - at that point you're not taking a moral stand, you're just a cunt with a soapbox.
Precisely, this is why I would work in a catholic hospital if I was in that situation.
