A New York county clerk has again refused to file a more than $100,000 civil judgment from Texas against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills.
One of Texas’s biggest medical providers is the Methodist Health System, with 12 full-fledged hospitals and over 100 clinics that started as a hospital in Houston founded by the Methodist church. For most people, it’s just another hospital. The church doesn’t get any of the money or anything.
Catholic hospitals, however, are a little more notorious for denying care based on religious principles - with abortion and birth control being the big one. They won’t do abortions, offer contraceptives, or perform vasectomies, for instance.
I’m not religious in the slightest, but in my experience, them Methodists seem pretty chill. Worked with one to make their website a while a back and their pastor was the most laid back, easy to work with dude, loved everyone, black, white, brown, straight, gay, trans, whatever. I miss that guy.
True story.
One night a woman came to our Catholic hospital ER in Central Texas because she was sexually assaulted.
The doctor prescribed Plan B because the victim didn’t want to carry her rapist’s baby.
Our hospital refused to dispense it. Poor woman had to wait two days to get it from CVS.
This is the reality
Excuse my life, but what the fuck is a Catholic hospital?
“Welcome good sirs to my church of the Bristol Stool Chart!”
Lots of hospitals were started by churches.

The Methodist Church has always been staunchly anti-gay. Some are trying to change it, but the bigotry remains.
Sorry to ask, but if such a place didn’t want to dispense it, why would they have it? Am I not understanding something about pharmacies here?
