Catholic/Religiously run Hospitals Who Deny Reproductive Care Should Get NO Public Funds

If you are servicing the general public you should be forbidden to deny medical services based on religious beliefs. And all tax dollars that go to pay for your services should be denied. Religious organizations that own or run medical services should not allow religious doctrine or belief to limit their services to the general public.

As it is now many communities that are dominated by religiously run hospitals have NO adequate reproductive health care where family planning and contraceptive services is involved. If they cannot provide or won't provide them then they should be sold to a public entity.
