An Ohio woman who’d sought treatment at a hospital before suffering a miscarriage and passing her nonviable fetus in her bathroom now faces a criminal charge, her attorney told CNN.
~~ CNN reached out to the hospital for > comment about why staff notified police. Maureen Richmond, vice president of integrated communications at Mercy Health – a Catholic health care system that includes St. Joseph Warren Hospital – sent the following statement to CNN:
“The safety and security of every patient who comes to us for care is our highest priority. Out of respect for patient privacy, we will not discuss individual specifics of care.
is this like where the doctors and nurses have to be of the religion, or does the hospital get to decide who gets treated using their own rules? or something else? can someone explain this?
Employees don’t necessarily have to be Catholic, but the “guiding principles” of the hospital are rooted in Catholicism, including decisions like abortion. Catholicism will steer the types of care the hospital provides and its morality will affect care decisions, because as a “private entity” that’s a-ok.
I wouldn’t touch a faith-based healthcare provider with a 10’ pole.
Don’t worry it’s one of the growing sectors of the health care industry. Even if you don’t want to touch them they’ll buy out all the hospitals around you and touch you!
No, doctors and nurses don’t have to be Catholic, and the hospital is just a normal hospital. They even have religiously neutral “meditation chapels” instead of like, a small Catholic shrine.
I’ve been to this specific hospital. It’s bog-standard health care.
I know that reading the PDF on that page requires SO many words, but I assure you that the health care they give is just normal health care, as you can see by actually reading the PDF.
Also I’m not sure what you mean by “agree with those directives” but I don’t give a fuck one way or the other about the hospital, I just know that they’re a normal hospital doing normal hospital shit.
Nothing in this case had jack shit to do with the hospital being Mercy hospital.
Perhaps if you have an axe to grind, do it somewhere that doesn’t involve an Ohioan talking about things in Ohio.
Nah. The second the standard of care is dictated by a religious council it’s not standard. I don’t care what altar they pray at. The very concept is unacceptable.

Oh that’s real fuckin convenient now
is this like where the doctors and nurses have to be of the religion, or does the hospital get to decide who gets treated using their own rules? or something else? can someone explain this?
either way, what the fuck?

That’s not true. Link
Their standards of care are subject to “the Ethical and Religious Directives set by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.”
Just because you agree with those directives, does not mean they are standard healthcare.
I know that reading the PDF on that page requires SO many words, but I assure you that the health care they give is just normal health care, as you can see by actually reading the PDF.

I, too, like to make weird arguments not based on reality
That’s a weird way to say a profession should have standards.
You literally have not read the actual standard
Focus less on being quippy and more on being correct
Of course that’s their answer. It would be breaking HIPAA laws to tell the press. Or the police, unless she was in custody.
CALLING THE COPS IS NOT CARE
What’s your point?
Amazing. At-least someone with a shred of morality in the cesspit.
