Hospital (about 1,000 beds) with a big obstetric Dept. Women would have to be transferred to another hospital after the birth of thei babes for a tubal. I see things do not change (well, it is a Catholic hospital so guess I never expected it to change). But it makes NO sense since a tubal ligation prevents an egg from ever meeting up with the sperm. No meet-up = no fertilization. No this would be ok with the anti abortion folks right?

But with the Vatican --marriage (and sex ) is for procreation. Hence the problem.
