Regarding “ACLU-backed merger report says Catholic systems' growth threatens women's access to care”:
As a family physician who is a Catholic and a woman, I believe the Catholic Church needs to be withdrawn from all hospital administration in order for patients to receive the full range of legal options for their care.
It is wrong that the U.S. allows the Catholic hierarchy, a group of childless and celibate men, to dictate medical care to doctors and patients, even though much of the income of Catholic hospitals is from taxpayers.
