but the hospital did tubals, removes a womans uterus:
and what about this:
At one time, Catholic doctors would have been allowed to perform Mann’s tubal ligation, as Directive number 47 reads:
“Operations, treatments, and medications that have as their
direct purpose the cure of a proportionately serious pathological condition of a pregnant woman are permitted when they cannot be safely postponed until the unborn child is viable, even if they will result in the death of the unborn child.”
she hasn't got a condition??
"But a 2010 letter from the Conference of Catholic Bishops clarified the directive: Catholic doctors are only allowed to perform sterilization if it is an unavoidable byproduct of a given procedure—
for instance, if a woman with uterine cancer needs to get her uterus removed to survive.
However, Mann’s tubal ligation would be performed with the specific intent of preventing future pregnancies, and thus, is prohibited.
“In this case, if they said, ‘Well, we have to remove the tumor and a result of removing the tumor is that you would become sterile, that might be allowed, but because they’re saying failure to take action related to her pregnancy wil lhave an impact on her brain, that’s not allowed under the directives,” explained Brooke Tucker, the ACLU’s staff attorney focusing on the case, in an interview with Jezebel."
they say this tubal is to prevent the woman getting pregnant, thus isn't allowed....but they are completely ignoring the fact that if she was to get pregnant again, it could kill her.
but yeah, you're right. how dare a woman in the us demand a hospital do a medical procedure.? what nerve.
'first do no harm' hasn't got an asterisk next to it.
