[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that a lot of expectant mothers would choose to save the baby's life over their own. So this isn't just a Catholic thing. There was even a thread on DCUM about this where most people would choose their baby's life over theirs. I personally would choose me and made this clear to DH. I need to be alive to care for my other children and I can have more children later. It's a personal decision. But I always had that discussion with DH while I was pregnant because he'd make the decisions for me if I was incapacitated. [/quote]
It is very rare for the delivery room to only have 2 choices, to either save the baby or mother. Perhaps we should not use that as an analogy since it just about does not happen
I am more concerned with Catholic hospitals refusing to give sterilizations, forcing women to carry a stillborn fetus until she gets septic before helping her, delaying care for [b]ectopic pregnancy, [/b]etc[/quote]

I can take this. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy about 15-16 years ago and went to Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring. Had excellent care including an emergency salpingectomy without undue delay.  [/quote]

the problem with Catholic hospitals is that they may *force* you to have the tube rupture by refusing timely medication to avoid the rupture. They consider the medication to be an abortion (because it intends to kill the embryo), but removing the tube after a rupture is OK because the embryo is already dead. [/quote]
