I got the impression that the doctors at the Catholic hospital were, in fact, suggesting early induction. That's what Jessica (from the pregnancy center of unspecified affiliation) described as infuriating and disappointing. So it turns out that this particular case is more nuanced than "put Christians in a box" and I found that the post presented it as such. Your concern is laudable but, perhaps, misplaced. <br />--KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-6640504012531636812010-02-17T17:10:56.640-05:002010-02-17T17:10:56.640-05:00I disagree slightly, PF: I think Jessica's int...I disagree slightly, PF: I think Jessica's intentions were good. Whether that good was for the baby or the baby's mother or for religious morality is another question entirely.<br /><br />In any case, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Many people justify injustice in the name of some higher cause; what they're actually doing, however, is following some road map towards "good" without bothering to see where the journey is taking them.Whatevermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458601080799278850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-61895151977029007992010-02-17T15:49:41.086-05:002010-02-17T15:49:41.086-05:00For whatever it's worth, I think that most of ...For whatever it's worth, I think that most of us here are quite capable of distinguishing between specific cases and entire organizations... and also that muddy area where specific cases are the results of wider beliefs and policies, even if the folks propagating those beliefs and policies would be horrified by this individual result.<br /><br />For that matter, I draw a strong distinction between individual Catholics, Catholic churchgoers in general, and the... what do I call it? ...Church Hierarchy.Michael Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233321050691782148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-79419143412045105422010-02-17T15:04:07.898-05:002010-02-17T15:04:07.898-05:00You said you can't find any info on this, but ...You said you can't find any info on this, but if you're interested, it sounds like Potter Sequence/BRA (although I didn't go to your links for more info). <br /> I have to admit this story surprised me because I know that Catholic hospitals, as approved from the Vatican under Ethical and Religious Directives for Health Care, are approved and do perform early induction in cases like this. I'm not Catholic, but I thought this was common understanding. <br />Also, if I were you, I'd hesitate before accepting this story as the norm and judging Catholics in general over it. I know you like to put all Christians in a box and tell your readers what they believe based on individual remarks, but that's probably an unwise practice, especially in this case.Cura_te_ipsumhttp://www.goodsensehealthcare.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
