[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The catholic church has no right to dictate what its insurers provide to their customers.[/quote]

Yes, no employer should ever be able to decide what type of insurance it provides for its employers!  Those employees probably had no idea they were working for a Catholic institution.  Many of us get confused.  Georgetown isn't St. Georgetown!  Very confusing.  [/quote]

Will your ob/gyn prescribe birth control at Georgetown?  Sure.  OK, so stop the pontificating.[/quote]

Which is the point.  It is their choice and they do it.  Then why can't another institution make a different choice?  Choice is only acceptable if it fits the "right to choose" stance.

But hey, thanks for proving my point![/quote]

Uh, you aren't getting it.  OB/GYN practices at ALL of the Catholic hospitals prescribe birth control.  So they have already decided that this is ethically acceptable.  They will even make money off of the visit to get a script.  And yet the same institutions are protesting this.[/quote]

Providers at Catholic institutions do not provide birth control for contraception purposes, instead for things like heavy menstrual periods or heavy cramping.  This is how many providers who believe in using it, but cannot provide it as such do it.  They have decided that loop-holing the system is ethically acceptable to them, but that does not change the baseline tenet of a Catholic hospital.  The Church has always stood firmly against birth control.[/quote]

Anyone whose OB/GYN is at one of the Catholic systems will tell you otherwise.

The nuns run the hospital systems, and they are not against it.  If there is any hiding going on, it is to keep the bishops at bay.[/quote]
