re: Catholic Church says no to J&J Vaccine

quote:

No, the Catholic Church does not support abortion in any case and does not want its members to condone the method used to produce the J&J vaccine when alternative options are available.

The choice is not J&J or death.

The Catholic church has some arse backwards thinking on abortion. They will not allow surgeons in their hospitals to treat an ectopic pregnancy by removing the NON VIABLE fertilized egg unless they perform a total hysterotomy. They consider the hysterectomy the proper treatment for an ectopic pregnancy and not an abortion but if you remove the non viable fertilized egg without performing a total hysterectomy they consider that an abortion. So egg only, abortion... Egg and sterilizing a woman, often very young women, totally acceptable.

Further, people working for a Catholic hospital are "not allowed" to refer a woman with this condition to a hospital that will treat the condition without a hysterectomy, further more they won't even let them tell them there is another option much less tell them what the other option is. Talk about nurses, but when you have a loved one in a Catholic hospital in this situation and the nurse sits on the side of the bed after the doctor leaves and tells them to get another opinion and tells them were to seek that opinion you will be thankful.
