In reply to the discussion: Catholic Hospital turns away woman in labor, she gives birth in car..fake pro lifers! [View all]The Revolution
(872 posts)There is a huge problem with Catholic control of the healthcare system. Catholic hospitals are the only option in many areas. Then they want to stand between patients and their doctors and dictate what can and cannot be done, especially when it comes to anything related to a woman's reproductive system.
This drives providers away and makes getting healthcare even harder:

I know there are a lot of Democrats who are Catholic, but my question is: why? Why are you part of a church if you don't agree with their stance on fundamental principals, like the right to health care, reproductive rights, right to marriage and LGBTQ rights, etc?
Democrats may be Catholic, but I don't think they should be. That church has inflicted (and continues to inflict) so much pain. I don't understand the praise the last couple Popes have gotten on here when they aren't even close to progressive on the issues that we are supposed to care about.
