Does your community hospital provide services like abortion, birth control counseling, or even emergency contraception after rape?
How about voluntary sterilization or infertility treatments?

When I worked at a Catholic hospital . . . emergency contraception, abortion & sterilization were not offered. Birth control counseling was supposed to be limited to the rhythm method. http://www.sexhealth.org/birthcontrol/rhythm.shtml Infertility treatments are questionable under the guidelines since they would not approve of aborting extra fetuses.
Of course, you learned what was done openly and on record was different than private counseling.

My hospital does not provide abortions, but a town nearby does. But they do do the other things! Thank goodness.

Catholic hospitals which are truly Catholic adhere to Catholic principles.
Few if any of the things you mention would be offered by Catholic hospitals.
The matter of rape is subject to certain qualifications, and is much more complicated.

It may now, it didn't before when it was St. Joseph's and non profit. Now anything goes for the right money.
