You are putting words out here that no one said... fairly typical of a troll or of someone blinded by have and/or propaganda. Sad.

And those Catholic hospitals? They are not charities, they are businesses who employ and serve folks of all faiths. And while many are non-profit businesses, that's just a tax designation. They take in plenty of our tax dollars and are required to provide community services for the tax benefit.

Oh stop. In many areas of the country folks use Catholic hospitals because there are no others. Not because they are Catholic. Or Christian. Because there is no other choice. And stop with the lies about abortion- it makes it much harder to reach hearts when ignorant hate is spewed by believers.
