They've also refused to terminate life threatening ectopic pregnancies, preferring to wait until they ru0ture and the woman starts to bleed out, her pain and near death far less important than continuing a pregnancy that has no chance of going to term. Women have bled out and died on the way to the shitty Catholic hospital. It's not a bug, it's a feature and it happens in big cities.

Most Catholic countries with Catholic laws on the books do this shit. Rome has a lot to answer for.
