A hospital is just a building and the organization that owns the building.

The real question is, should hospitals be allowed to force or forbid doctors from providing medical care?

A doctor (Catholic or not) should never, and can never, be forced to perform a medical procedure, including abortions. And they also shouldn't be forbidden from performing a medical procedure.

Hospitals just provide rooms and equipment so that doctors can provide the care that their patients need, within their ability to provide that care.

"do no harm, unless it violated your specific religious ideology" that's how the oath goes right?

“Do no harm” is not the same as “Do prevent harm.”

Also, if you’re citing the Hippocratic Oath,…

I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

The Hippocratic Oath was created to forbid surgery, since it was a provable harm before modern hygienic standards. No one has sworn the original in centuries, but they do swear modernized versions which don't include such ignorant nonsense.

I will not use the knife […], but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

Wtf? I don't trust any physician who hasn't sworn to Zeus!

Fuck Zeus.

Do you trust me as your physician now?

Idk it's really more about Hermes, what's your feelings on winged sandals?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

You're trying to sell us shoes aren't you Herm. We know you're the protector of thieves and merchants as well as the god of primitive medicine. Anyway yes I'm interested, how much?
