Awkward.

There's nothing immoral about what they're doing. And yes, I'm familiar, but you'd have to explain how that would apply to this.

The quoted article in the opening post stated:
"But when it came to mounting a defense in the Stodghill case, Catholic Health's lawyers effectively turned the Church directives on their head. Catholic organizations have for decades fought to change federal and state laws that fail to protect "unborn persons," and Catholic Health's lawyers in this case had the chance to set precedent bolstering anti-abortion legal arguments." In actuality, the only way a legal precedent could be established would be for the hospital's lawyer to make the argument that the won at the trial court and then have the plaintiff win the appeal. If the hospital had conceded based on church teaching, that would have done nothing to change the law. Maybe Colorado has never ruled on a case arguing mother dies without malpractice, but viable fetuses not being saved was malpractice. Does seem bad that duty OB does not answer page, but if the mother is already dead seems like any surgeon present could have figured that it would be best to perform ceaserian and try to save them. It may well be that the doctor's and the hospital's malpractice insurers have to pay any judgment and settlement, and therefore have the decision making authority.

The Bible may not say anything about civil litigation as it pertains to the United States of America, but I doubt you could make an argument for them following the spirit of God's law since they are following the letter of man's law. Legally, they are completely within their rights. |

The prosecution could not make that case, but they shouldn't need to make that case to the Catholic church, now should they? |

You understand that this is a civil case, being conducted in a court, right? This is a court case, not a debate over values.

This is an interesting case and I agree with you they are hypocrites.

As far as you googling definitions. It's a free country, you don't have to ask my permission. |
