19. My best friend's daughter had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago.

The largest hospital system in our area, Catholic, naturally, would not treat her.

Luckily there is a non sectarian hospital in the next town that gladly treated her. (What would a woman do if the only hospital available to her was a Catholic one?)

Womens’ lives are totally worthless and expendable in the eyes of these ultra zealots in the right wing and some religions and these types should never be in the position to decide who gets care and who does not! It sickens and infuriates me that this even goes on, and that a law like the one in the post would even be considered. It’s murder!
