This blew my mind back when I was 20 and got a job on a mother baby unit. We offered tubals as birth control. Did tubals. Did secret tubals for some women such that the husbands wouldn’t know, at least not from us. Then I was told Catholic hospitals won’t do any tubals.

Blew my fucking mind, but an important life lesson on how locked down we are as women. 20 years later the same shit was still the norm. 30 years later we still haven’t progressed and now there’s Roe.

God my hospital is like this too. They have signs all over the ER that say they “value the sanctity of life” and don’t perform hysterectomies, abortions, or emergency contraceptive procedures. It’s rich that they claim they’re helping the community out of goodness of their godly hearts but then still run the hospital like a greedy company and exploit their employees to maximize profits.

Apparently “godliness” only extends far enough to restrict women’s reproductive rights but not helping patients and staff.

My mom wanted her tubes tied after me. I was her 3rd and a great risk to her, any more and she would have even greater risks to her life.

When I was born, we had two hospitals: a Catholic one that handled all births, and a general one that mostly did surgeries. She went to the other one because the Catholic hospital refused to tie her tubes. She was waiting in labor in a room with others waiting for different types of surgery.

Recently, the Catholic hospital recently purchased the other hospital and is now the only option. I’m so heartbroken for all the people with uteruses having no accessible health care through them because of their religion.

This is yet another reason healthcare should be universal. Not just for cost reasons but also so that the treatment itself is universal and churches disguised as hospitals cant dictate the care one might receive. Especially in cases of women’s reproductive rights, transgender people, and emergencies. I have a cousin who is trans he is currently undergoing hormones therapy. And everytime he goes into the ER for anything they always want to blame the testosterone treatments. It’s never been the testosterone treatments. Even when he had pneumonia from COVID they wanted to harp on the hormones. His mother went all Shirley Maclaine from terms of endearment on their asses about making sure they provided him with the proper care. Now when he is sick or hurt he bypasses all the local hospitals if he can and goes to the larger much more liberal teaching hospital a few hours away since that’s where his doctors are that are helping him through his transition. Women and trans people always seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to medical care. Especially in rural America.

With the latest Carson case from the supreme court soon hospitals may be able to reject LGBT, Women whatever they want – it’s a real mess

What’s an IUD?

I refused a good job right out of college because the Catholic-backed company forbade any discussion with females about any forms of birth control intervention.

[Stevethetherapist]

As technically part of the patriarchy i agree. DOWN WITH MYSELF!!

[lazycowboy666]

me when Medicaid referred me to a male MD at Bon Secours for my PCP… hmm… no 🙂

[bwaaainz]

Yeah… I live in a relatively progressive country. But The Catholic Church is still grabbing more and more institutions that should be in federal hand. And then they will still take federal money but stop health care services that have anything to do with birth control or abortions. They won’t even take fluid samples for evidence after a rape …

[ElderBrahmin]

Catholic hospitals are a scourge. They keep women in desperate poverty and abusive relationships by refusing to provide necessary birth control.
