I didn’t see anyone here post this, so I will.

I live in Blue California, in a fairly blue town. But the monopoly on our health care is owned by Providence, a Catholic hospital. And yes, they turned away someone I know personally, who was miscarrying twins, because the care she needed was against their religion. OMFG.

Now, the good news is that this is illegal in California, so they are getting their asses sued from here to the bakery by a private firm, a women’s organization, and the CA DA. But still, this wonderful woman almost died, and I would be deprived of the best chiropractor on the planet. Not to mention the devastation felt by her friends and family. Not to mention it’s just WRONG.

Providence MUST NOT get away with this, or being in a blue state will be NO protection for any of us. Read all about it here..
