I hope Catholic hospitals are not obeying these laws anyway. When I was a nurse I was floated to the ER a few times. Suppose I had been told to dispense such a medication. I would have had to refuse. However the hospital I worked for at that time would not allow contraception even to be discussed with patients, nor did their employee health plan cover it. And they censured a doctor who wrote in his note that he was discharging a patient so she could go have an abortion at the other hospital in town. Maybe I should write them a letter expressing my hopes that they have not and will not violate these principles.
