For not being born a man. Gawd, they hate adult females of reproductive age.

but a lot more of wanting CONTROL of women. They clearly view men as the superior sex, and women are just the vessels by which men make more men. It's putrid, disgusting, and positively revolting to see the theology and church defended constantly here on a progressive website.

In part:

They didn't.

You see, technically it's not against our theology....





That's all you'll get from that well, it's too shallow to produce anything but slime.

Complete with a puking smiley.

There are some facts to be ascertained.

The suit is being brought under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act which prohibits the transfer of a patient to another facility unless she has been stabilized. For the statute to apply, the circumstances must meet those legal definitions. Otherwise, any hospital could transfer the patient to another facility.

If the mother was in a life-threatening emergency situation, Directive 45 should not have prohibited the emergency treatment. If the hospital still failed to act, it would be iiable.

The plaintiffs are also seeking prospective relief which means that the legal parameters of Directive 45 and the statute itself have to be construed by the court to establish clear future guidelines to determine the legal course of action if and when there is a conflict between the two.

The hospital refused. Despite having "Directive 45" written down.

And the Court will have to weigh the claims.

I'll wait for the facts.

1) Women needed abortions to avoid dying.
2) Hospital didn't give abortions.

Rug: But...um...they said they would! Let's ignore everything that's happened and hope this goes away.

jeff47: Catholic hospital bad!
jeff47: I like chocolate!

I'd rather discuss this case than examine spittle.

1) The women needed abortions in order to not die.
2) The hospital refused to give them.

Which of these two is false?

What needs to be established under this suit is that they required emergency treatment at the time. The other thing to be established is what circumstances in the future need to be addressed, including whether the condition is in fact life-threatening and an emergency.
Without those facts being established, transfer to another hospital is legal.

Their medical condition clearly required an abortion. The standard of care is to do an abortion. There is a very good chance they would die without one.

You could ask Savita Halappanavar what happens when you don't get an abortion in that condition, except she's dead because Ireland bans all abortions.

Most of the complaint is about the policy and the potential harm and violations of the statute it may incur.

The only specific claims the complaint makes is that certain unspecified women were denied emergency stabilizing treatment and that the necessary emergency treatment must be an abortion.

That is not a fact at all, it is an allegation in a complaint which requires evidence which has not yet been produced.

Read the complaint, starting at paragraph 24.

I will reiterate: if the allegation is in fact proven, the hospital loses. If not, it wins.

The article is about the lawsuit.

Do not attempt to say what I like or do not like.

There are more than a dozen OT passages about abortion. Send them to the court so he can decide the case on Scripture instead of facts.

One-trick pony's have only, uhm, well, one trick.

Things like his claims of being an atheist, yet supporting every single Catholic dogma.

Who told you I ever said I was an atheist?

The fact that she's at high risk for complications that may result in her death doesn't matter, those complications must arise - and become life-threatening - before it can be done. The fact that the fetus isn't going to survive anyway doesn't matter. Am I understanding this correctly?

If she were indeed dying, anything but palliative care would be fruitless.

As far as the statute under which this suit is brought, it applies only to emergency situations. If she were experiencing a high risk pregnancy, her doctor could advise her of her remedies.
