Regents alter policy with religious hospitals - requires UC doctors be allowed to perform certain procedureshttps://archive.vn/zw4ON#selection-2713.0-2713.108University of California Regents, facing criticism for contracts with religious hospitals that refuse to provide abortions, sterilizations or transgender surgery, adopted a new policy Wednesday that retains the contracts but requires the hospitals to let UC physicians perform those procedures when patients can’t be transferred safely to another hospital.
The university is fighting legislation by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, that would require it to end contracts with religious health facilities — like Dignity Health, California’s largest hospital chain — unless the hospitals changed their policies or did not apply them to UC physicians and students working there.
Progs have been attacking Dignity Health for many years, because it is a
Catholic hospital chain. In some CA communities the only full service hospital is a Dignity Health facility. Given that context, I hope Dignity tells UC to go fly a kite.
