That is up to her. See above.

Catholic hospitals generally don't do sterilizations. Why this would surprise anyone I don't know. Why a patient feels that her wishes trump the wishes of hospital administrators I don't know, unless it is because we are increasingly beset by people who feel that they are entitled to whatever they want, whenever they want it from the hands of people who don't want to give it to them.

yeah, go figure someone in this secular country expecting medical care at a hospital.
again, if the church can't separate theology from medicine, they should not own hospitals.
and they have sterilized people. I'm sorry you keep ignoring that part.

but yeah, it's just her life, her soon to be born kids health, her future at stake. absolutely, here in the u.s., religion should dictate...
'whatever they want'? catholic hospitals have done tubals, so they have no argument due to past practice.
and don't forget, this is the same business sued for wrongful death, whose lawyers argued that 7 month old viable twins weren't alive, and that the hospital couldn't be held accountable for 'wrongful death'.
so, their theology fits unless money is at stake.
I wonder how many insurers will start dropping such hospitals...who would rather force more procedures and extra costs because of a book written by people who didn't know where the sun went at night. I mean, it's the patients and insurance companies who pay....so, yes, the patient should get what it needs-and this is medically dictated by her doctor.
and i'll listen to a doctor over a religious guy who doesn't give a rats behind about women any day.

have catholic hospitals done tubal ligations? yes. so, what's the deal?

and what about the fact that this very hospital has done tubals til late last year? no wonder her and her doctor were surprised at the sudden turn of events...because they been done there for years. he's probably done them there before.
