Should ALL hospitals be required to provide abortion services?
Find answers to your legal question.





Should ALL hospitals be required to provide abortion services?

Christian hospitals and all others? Do you think they'll close the GYN clinics if they are forced to offer procedures that go against their moral beliefs?

no they should not unless it is to save the life of the mother from physical harm

it is against the religious believes of Catholics to assist or perform an abortion

and under no condition should the courts require them to be performed by any doctor that disagrees with the morality of abortions.

______________________________________...

and you are wrong the church will not close the ob gyn clinics.. as they aren't required to perform an abortion...

the current plans are to close the hospitals completely if that law passes.. this will mean that 600 hospitals in the continental US will close.. hospitals that take a large percentage of needy and low income families

many assumed that the church would privatize the hospitals; however the church has stated that doing so would simply enable abortions to continue there.. something they can't tolerate; they will close them.

______________________________
for those that asked why the question was asked.. because there is a law in congress that would require this.

no, abortion should be a choice decision for those having the abortion, the same should go for those offering the abortion. It's like telling a hospital to kill someone even if they don't want to.

I don't think anyone should be forced either way on this issue . . . and yes, some Christian hospitals will shut down rather than behave against their moral code.

That's the line where pro-choice pro-life becomes a very difficult issue.

nope not if it's against the hospitals beliefs

No, only those hospitals that receive federal funds. All others, do what you want.

The Freedom of Choice Act will require all hospitals to perform abortions and all pharmacies to provide abortion drugs and birth control even private and religiously affilliated ones.

The problem is government money. If the hospital takes no government funds they have more freedom to do what they want. There is always strings attached to government money. If they accept government money they are subject to their rules. This is true for everything the government does. Sometimes its better to have less money and do what you want or what is right.

I don't think hospitals that are affiliated with a religion should be forced to provide abortions. I am an atheist, but I believe that they should not have to go against the beliefs of their religion.


Noneofurb
NO. Never ever ever ever ever ever get an abortion

I don't believe in abortion except in extreme cases (rape,incest rape) things like that so no I don't believe ALL hospitals should be required to provide services. Some women abuse those kind of services as is which is wrong.

I think they would have every right to.

Most hospitals receive some sort of federal funding, therefore they must provide services, like it or not.

I am not too keen on the idea of every doctor in a hospital being required to perform them, so long as the hospital has a select number that are available to perform the services, that should be good enough, however, I am not an elected official....:)

If they accept medicare and medicaid they ARE required to follow the rules. If they don't like the rules they should not play the game. Their job is to provide service for pay, not to inflict their morality on the sick and infirm. That is called emotional/spiritual abuse and it is wrong no matter how tightly you wrap the bible around your actions.

What do you want to start a war??? You can't force religious organizations to do anything they don't agree with...they will rape you with a bible. They are hardcore....

The providers for that are in there place and should be left alone. Because a hospital is no place for the psycho pro- lifers to protest and bother the sick people.
